Cambridge United form and stats

There's been little loot from Cambridge United's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 18 away games in the League One. Cambridge United only have 2 wins to counter their 14 defeats and 2 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

The manager Bonner was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Abbey Stadium. Cambridge United suffered a 1-2 loss to Charlton Athletic (placed 12th). Midfield player Lankester was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.43/10. Lankester hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Prior to that match, the Cambridge manager Bonner faced defeat when travelling to Milton Keynes Dons and losing 0-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Cambridge United playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 4 home wins.

Low on goals? 9 of this side's latest 11 league matches have had two goals or less.

The attacking power of Cambridge when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 18 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

The two duelists also encountered each other earlier on this season: Cambridge United - Port Vale 0-1. Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: four - zero - four (Port Vale wins - draws - Cambridge United wins).
