Cheltenham Town have not been spoiled with points this league season. Will the team get something to cheer about when Cambridge United stop by Jonny-Rocks Stadium?
- Cheltenham Town have the most dropped points from leading position (8) in League One
- Cambridge United have yet to win a game away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Cheltenham Town form and stats
Cheltenham Town have played three League One home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Cheltenham drew their last game, 2-2 away at Port Vale (placed 17th). The hometeam coach Elliott made a successful contribution in the game against Port Vale, bringing on Brown who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw. The attacking player N'Lundulu won the honour of being "man of the match" for Cheltenham Town with the rating of 7.42/10. N'Lundulu scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.
Before that one, a strong away win at Milton Keynes Dons. A EFL Trophy match. This is expected to be a close game, with Cheltenham Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cheltenham Town as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Cheltenham Town has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.
Cheltenham have conceded 7 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Cambridge United form and stats
The League One season is young and Cambridge United have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
Ironside (2) scored in Cambridge United's previous match, the home game against Lincoln City that ended 2-0. Ironside, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.62. Ironside scored two goals.
The fixture before was the EFL Trophy-battle against Arsenal U21, a home loss (0-2). As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Cambridge United in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Cambridge United, 4 draws and 0 defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cambridge as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Cheltenham Town victories, four draws and three Cambridge United wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
