Cambridge United form and stats

The total League One stats at home this season for Cambridge United are 2-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The spoils were shared in Cambridge United's previous game, also at home. Visiting Ipswich Town (placed 15th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. Late drama in the game against Ipswich Town as Cambridge United were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Joe Ironside popped out and made it level in the 88th minute. Lloyd Jones, defender, was given a rating of 7.23/10 in that game, top of the team. Jones served one assist, hit two key passes and won 5 of 10 duels.

Before that, Cambridge played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Crewe Alexandra.

There will be little rest for Cambridge after this match as they are travelling to Shrewsbury Town for a League One game in only 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 10 in 7 matches. Cambridge have conceded 12 from these games.

Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

As the visiting team in League One matches, Sheffield Wednesday have produced an overall stat of 2-3-2 so far.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to AFC Wimbledon (placed 17th) in their previous outing. The League One match ended in a draw 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against AFC Wimbledon after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager D. Moore needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Midfielder Barry Bannan was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.3. Bannan served one assist, hit three key passes and had 46 successful passes (of 51 total).

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Bolton Wanderers.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Lincoln City in just four days.

Sheffield find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. 8 goals have been conceded by Sheffield Wednesday in these games.
