Cambridge United form and stats

Only two League One home games for Cambridge United so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The Cambridge followers got no joy from their last match, also played here at Abbey Stadium: A 1-2 defeat against Stevenage (placed 3rd). Kachunga, who usually features in attack, was the best player for the team in that fixture, scoring a rating of 7.44 (out of 10). Kachunga scored one goal and had 24 successful passes (of 29 total).

In the game before, an away victory match versus Fleetwood Town with a 2-0 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Cambridge United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Bristol Rovers form and stats

Four points from two away games for Bristol Rovers, meaning one draw and one victory in the League One so far.

Bristol Rovers play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Charlton Athletic (placed 15th). McCormick came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Charlton Athletic last time out, making the manager Barton feel like a tactical genius. Midfield player Evans was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.2/10. Evans hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 34 successful passes (of 38 total).

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Barnsley.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bristol Rovers playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 9 Bristol Rovers wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Bristol Rovers has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Bristol Rovers have won all of the 5 most recent games against this team. Will the streak continue?
