📋 Team News: Cambridge United
There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Cambridge United boss Neil Harris to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Shayne Lavery (Hamstring injury) will miss out.
⚡ Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Cambridge United should get enough chances to find the net against this Charlton Athletic team, but a single goal probably won’t quite be good enough.
Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Charlton Athletic when the referee blows the final whistle. Hopefully this is a good one.
