Competition: League One
Market: Wrexham win
Odds: 1/1 @ BetUS
Desperate to widen their buffer in the automatic promotion spots, Wrexham will travel to the Abbey Stadium when they meet Cambridge United.
Starting with the hosts, while Cambridge might have clung to their League One status last season, Neil Harris’ men have an almighty battle on their hands this time around. Getting the midweek fixtures underway sat firmly in the drop zone and nine points adrift of safety, it is no surprise that the Us are pencilled in as a leading relegation contender in 2025. Despite playing out consecutive 1-1 stalemates against Northampton and Barnsley, the former Millwall boss has seen his struggling squad muster just a pair of points from their previous six League One appearances. It should also be noted, Cambridge have registered just two wins from any of their last 13 matchups against third-tier opposition. Facing what will be another stern examination in midweek, Wednesday’s hosts have also shown some extended issues on home soil. Claiming just a pair of wins at the Abbey Stadium since the start of December, Harris’ camp have also notched just a sole strike in over 300 minutes of action in front of their own supporters.
As for the visitors, while Wrexham might have only made their League One return this season, the Dragons have only continued on a public fairytale. Last seen over the weekend securing a routine 2-0 victory away at Exeter, Phil Parkinson’s men are leading the chase to book a famous Championship ticket in 2025. Getting Tuesday’s showdown underway holding a three-point buffer in the automatic promotion chase, the former Sunderland boss finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. In fact, the midweek guests have won each of their previous three League One appearances by an aggregate score of 4-0. Likewise, Wrexham have registered 15 points from their last six matchups against third-tier opposition. Smelling a real opportunity here, Parkinson’s side have also gained a reputation for their rugged defensive steel. It should be highlighted, the Dragons have recorded a clean sheet in six of their previous seven League One battles. Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the table, we are backing an away victory here.
