Cambridge United form and stats

Cambridge United have only collected 7 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-1-10 (13 played). Bitter travels for Cambridge as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Wycombe Wanderers match.

Two away games in a row for Cambridge United, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-5 versus Shrewsbury Town. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Shrewsbury Town was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind. Midfielder Brophy was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 6.74. Brophy hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 48 successful passes (of 60 total).

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Bristol Rovers.

Cambridge are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 5 matches.

The attacking power of Cambridge United when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Cambridge United manager Bonner has some worries about the defense as 30 goals have been conceded in these travels.
