Cambridge United form and stats

When playing at home in the League Two, Cambridge United have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games.

The fans are hoping that Cambridge United will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the League Two game against Northampton Town (placed 8th). In the match before that, Cambridge United hosted Grimsby Town and drew the game 0-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cambridge United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Arsenal U21 are coming to town in three days.

Cambridge United has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. 8 goals have been conceded.

Crawley Town form and stats

Crawley Town have only collected 7 points from their away games in the League Two, after 1-4-3 (8 played).

Crawley Town failed to get anything from their last game, a League Two home match vs Swindon Town (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 0-4. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Newport County that ended 1-1.

Crawley Town lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Crawley Town are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

Crawley Town are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 8 away games so far. In the opposite end, Crawley Town have conceded 15 goals in their away games.
