History of the Cambridge United v Cheltenham Town fixture

Cheltenham T. face a trip to Cambridge United at Abbey Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to break their duck against the hosts. The two previous games have resulted in one drawn game and one defeat for the Robins.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2004, the U's carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Cambridge United's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While U's have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Cheltenham T.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Robins's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 7 against.

Cambridge U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 33 games have yielded only 21 points. Cheltenham T. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 47 from their 33 games so far.
