With their 10 point advantage in the league table, Cambridge United fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Morecambe.
It's no vacation for neither Cambridge United nor Morecambe as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Cambridge United form and stats
Cambridge United have collected 15 points from their League Two home games so far after 4-3-4.
The fans are hoping that Cambridge United will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the League Two game against Swindon Town (placed 1st). Preceding that match was a defeat to Leyton Orient (2-3).
Cambridge United were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Cambridge United matches with similar probabilities have ended with 2 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats (from two games).

Morecambe form and stats
There's been little loot from Morecambe's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the League Two. Morecambe, who have the most conceded goals (42) in League Two, only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Morecambe have lost on their last two travels.
The manager D. Adams was unhappy after their last game, a League Two match played at their home ground Globe Arena. Morecambe suffered a 1-2 loss to Oldham Athletic (placed 17th). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Newport County.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Morecambe playing away, we found five games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 3 home wins.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Morecambe manager D. Adams as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Bradford City.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Morecambe have conceded 24 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
