Oxford United vs Cambridge United Predictions

• Cambridge have taken seven points from the last nine available
• Cambridge have drawn a third of their games this season
• The reverse fixture finished 4-1 to Cambridge in August

Bookies have overlooked Cambridge

Cambridge come into this on a three-match unbeaten run and have taken seven points from the last nine on offer. Cambridge recorded a very impressive 2-0 win in midweek against play-off contenders Plymouth and can currently be backed at 9/2 for their visit to Oxford – this price greatly underestimates their chances on Saturday. Mark Bonner’s side have already beaten Oxford 4-1 in the reverse fixture in August.

Oxford hard to predict of late

Oxford have won three of their last six and all of these wins came against sides who were in dreadful form at the time. Karl Robinson’s men scrapped past Crewe in midweek, a result that hardly inspires confidence. Oxford are currently a best priced 13/20 for success on Saturday, this seems markedly too short against an inform Cambridge side – a Cambridge side that have handed them a 4-1 beating already this season.

Cambridge deserve a lot more respect than they are being given in this one. The main selection for this game will be Cambridge in the Draw no Bet market, which can currently be backed at around the 3/1 mark – this seems on the generous side. In the correct score market, chance a 2-1 away win in what should be a close game.
