Walthamstow v Cambridge City preview

Walthamstow face Cambridge City on Saturday at Wadham Lodge in the first game of the new year.

Stow started their new new era under Andy Leese and Jon Meakes on Saturday away at inform Waltham Abbey who were eight games unbeaten going into the derby and made it 9 unbeaten thanks to Tayo Oyebola’s goal in a 1-0 victory. It was a tough game for both sides, and a performance worthy of three points on a different day for Stow.

Cambridge are also on good form and are currently 13 games unbeaten in all competitions. Their latest game was a 3-1 victory over Takeley last weekend. Jayden Randell gave the hosts the lead in the first half, before Jack Mitchell equalised for the visitors in the 73rd minute. Cambridge regained their lead thanks to Sam Coombes and sealed the win thanks to Quevin Castro’s penalty.

The last meeting between the two sides was at the beginning of the season, where Cambridge came out victorious in a 2-0 win. Two goals in the space of five minutes from Jayden Randell and Joseph Boachie were enough for the three points, with Stow unable to take crucial chances to get back into the game.
