Cambridge United form and stats

3 victories, 6 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Cambridge United have to build on here at Abbey Stadium in the League One.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Cambridge United, as their goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov has completely shut out the opponents for 204 minutes in the League One.

A good away victory last time out for Cambridge United, who won 1-0 against Lincoln City (placed 18th). Mitov loved the game against Lincoln City. With a stunning seven saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 1-0 victory. Some amazing scenes last match, when Ironside scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time. Mitov, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.43 out of 10 in that game. Mitov stopped the opponent with seven saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Ahead of that match, Cambridge United won a home game hosting Portsmouth (2-1).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Cambridge's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn zero and lost one.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Crewe Alexandra are coming to town in four days.

The Cambridge United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 13 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 18 goals have been conceded.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

There's been little loot from Doncaster Rovers's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 12 away games in the League One. Doncaster Rovers only have 0 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 1 draw. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.

The manager McSheffrey was unhappy after their last game, a League One match played at their home ground The Keepmoat Stadium. Doncaster suffered a 1-2 loss to Wigan Athletic (placed 4th). Goalkeeper Jones got the top player rating of the team with 6.84/10. Jones stopped the opponent with three saves.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Fleetwood Town.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Doncaster Rovers when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing six times, drawing zero and winning zero games.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Doncaster Rovers manager McSheffrey as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Milton Keynes Dons.

Goals are few and far between in Doncaster Rovers's away league games. Only 6 goals from 12 travels. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Doncaster Rovers are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 6 goals in these matches.
