Cambridge United form and stats

Playing away, Cambridge United have won 3 games, drawn 3 and suffered 4 defeats in the League One this season.

It's the second away game in a row for Cambridge, but there's smiles all around after the 5-0 victory versus Cheltenham Town (placed 12th) in the League One last time out. As mentioned above, Cambridge was the only team on the pitch versus Cheltenham Town in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention Ironside's lethal finishing against Cheltenham Town. three goals were a big reason for the important victory. The attacker Joe Ironside got a match rating of 9.25 in that game. Ironside scored three goals and hit one key pass.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Exeter City.

The travelling fans enjoy Cambridge's attacking play in away games, having scored 17 goals in 10 league matches away. Cambridge's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.
