Cambridge United
DLLLLL 🔻
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Bristol Rovers in League One action, Cambridge United and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
Luke Thomas (26') scored for Bristol Rovers.
It is worth noting that Cambridge United have been starved of goals over their previous 6 games, recording the poor return of just 4. In those fixtures, The U's have also seen the collective goal tally of their opponents equal 14. We will have to see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Cambridge United:
- haven't won against Blackpool when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. Not the best of away records.
- are without an away win for the past 6 league matches.
👥 Head to head

ℹ️ Team News: Blackpool
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just one fitness concern for the Blackpool boss Steve Bruce to be concerned with from a near full-strength group of players. Andy Lyons (Cruciate ligament injury) will miss out.

Owing to an otherwise full-strength squad, there is just the one fitness issue for the Cambridge United boss Garry Monk to contend with. Shayne Lavery (Hamstring injury) won’t be playing here.
