OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Cambridge United's two home games so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Abbey Stadium.

Cambridge United's last game was hosting Scunthorpe United and winning 3-2. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Colchester United.

This is expected to be a close game, with Cambridge United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

The manager C. Calderwood will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Swansea City in only four days.

Early season goal statistics from Cambridge United's 2 home games: 3 goals, 2 conceded.
