S.P.Read Esq: Cambridge United v Manchester United
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the FA Cup match on Friday evening (LIVE BBC1) between CAMBRIDGE UNITED v MANCHESTER UNITED and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
Cambridge meet Man U for only the second time – their first meeting was in 1991 in the League Cup where Man U ran out 4-1 aggregate winners and a 17-year-old Ryan Giggs scored one of the goals!
Cambridge are now 12th in League Two and the lowest ranked team left in the FA Cup. No surprise to see them around 16/1 to pull off the shock of shocks tonight against a Man U side who have lost just two of their last 18 matches.
If there is an avenue of hope for Cambridge, rather than just relying on the ‘magic of the cup’ factor, it is that Man U have been at their most vulnerable away from home.
The bad news for Cambridge is that Robin van Persie has overcome an ankle problem and expected to be available tonight.
Full-backs Luke Shaw and Rafael are fit again, but Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling and Ashley Young will all miss out.
For Cambridge Jordan Chiedozie, Johnny Hunt and Matteo Lanzoni will all miss the match due to being cup tied.
Cambridge have reached the fourth round for the first time in 15 years but are no strangers to Wembley – they were there twice last season winning the FA Trophy 4-0 against Gosport Borough and the Conference Premier play-off final 2-1 v Gateshead.
