- Notts County beat Cambridge United 2-0 in the last meeting between the clubs in League Two five months ago.
Back the hosts to win at a shade of odds-against
Cambridge United have drawn their last two League Two games, 1-1 at home to Swindon Town and 1-1 away to Cheltenham Town, but their form at the Abbey Stadium has been solid enough with one win and a draw from their last two.
United are fourth in the table with 74 points from 41 games but they have a strong home record with 13 wins, six draws and only one defeat from 20.
Neil Harris has done a fine job of getting his players to defend with discipline since taking over in February 2025 and the hosts have conceded only 0.65 goals per game on average when playing in front of their own fans in League Two.
United have scored 1.75 per game at home and will back themselves to keep the ball away from the home fans on Saturday. Notts County are third in the standings with 76 points from 42 matches, just two ahead of their hosts, but they have been very up and down on the road.
Inconsistent Magpies may open themselves up for a home goal
The Magpies have won 10, drawn four and lost seven in their 21 away games this season - with one win and two defeats from their last three away League Two assignments. County have conceded 23 times in 21 away matches in the league and may just open themselves up for a goal against an organised and well-drilled United side.
Martin Paterson has done a good job since recently taking the helm of County and they won a vital home match against Newport County 3-1. County like to play on the front foot and press high, although United are not a side who will get caught out in behind when they play.
Alassana Jatta is County’s main goal threat with 15 in 29 League Two appearances, making him a key man to watch. Cambridge’s top scorer Ben Knight has nine goals in 31 matches and is a consistent threat to all fourth-tier defences.
A meeting of the two most in-form teams in League Two promises to be an entertaining affair and we’re going to back Cambridge United to edge a high-scoring game at 21/25, with Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score - Yes taken at 5/4 and 1/1 respectively.
