On Friday night, Cambridge United have the chance to seal their place in League One for next season, as they visit Harrogate Town.
The visitors are currently second in the League Two table, five points clear of fourth-place Morecambe with just two games to go. Mark Bonner’s team head into this game on the back of a disappointing 1-0 home defeat by Stevenage.
The defeat continued a recent inconsistent run of league form for the visitors after a superb season. In fact, the recent dip has seen United win just two of their previous five matches in League Two.
Star striker Paul Mullin has scored just once in the U’s last four games. However, the 26-year-old has scored 29 times in League Two this season. The former Tranmere forward will be looking to get back to scoring ways in this encounter.
Cambridge Utd have been on a decent recent away run in the English fourth tier, as they are unbeaten in five league matches on their travels.
Harrogate Town are 17th place and have little left to play for this season other than pride. A record of just one win in their last ten League Two outings ended any hopes the Yorkshire outfit had of making the play-offs.
Town’s home record has been particularly poor of late, as they have won just once in their previous six league matches on home soil. In fact, they have lost four of their last six home games in League Two.
One of Harrogate Town’s major issues of late on home soil has been scoring goals, as they have failed to score in all four of those recent home defeats.
Forebet predicts that Cambridge will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to secure their place in League One for next season.
