A good away victory last time out for Salford City, who won 3-0 against Walsall (placed 15th). Before that game, the home loss against Forest Green Rovers with the scoreline 0-4.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Cambridge United in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Cambridge United, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
