Cambridge United vs West Ham Prediction
West Ham have been poor domestically and are precariously close to the relegation zone. The Hammers need an upturn in fortunes when the season resumes to keep their decade-long stay in the top flight going.
Cambridge, meanwhile, also sit just outside the relegation zone in League One and will need to get a positive result in their next league outing with Plymouth. West Ham houlds claim a comfortable win and also keep a clean sheet.
