Cambridge United form and stats

There's been little loot from Cambridge United's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the League One. Cambridge United only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Cambridge United are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The Cambridge goalkeeper Jack Stevens is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 265 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Thomas scored in Cambridge United's previous match, the home game against Carlisle United that ended 1-0. Yippee; their first win in the league after eight matches not winning. Thomas came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Carlisle United last time out, making the manager Bonner feel like a tactical genius. Bennett, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.03. Bennett served one assist, hit one key pass and won 6 of 10 duels.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Portsmouth.

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 7 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 4 home wins.

A tale of few goals? 9 of this side's latest 12 league rounds have contained zero, one or two goals.

A new game in only four days for Cambridge United, the FA Cup home match versus Bracknell Town. Busy days.

The attacking power of Cambridge when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Cambridge United have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's seven Wanderers victories, one draw and two Cambridge United wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
