Cambridge United vs Swindon

Cambridge United welcome Swindon to Abbey Stadium for an English League Two clash, with both teams in the mix for the promotion playoffs.

Separated by just two points in the table, both teams appear evenly matched heading into this clash. They should be fired up for this one and could be set to offer up goals.

Cambridge United

Cambridge United are fourth in the table with a 10-point buffer in the race for the promotion playoffs. However, they will head into this clash off the back of a 1-0 defeat at Barnet in their previous fixture.

That was only the first defeat in 10 matches for Cambridge United, who will be keen to get things back on track. Neil Harris's team are also solid on home soil and are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches in front of their fans.

Cambridge United often make fast starts and have scored the first goal in six of their last eight matches. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of those matches, while four fixtures in this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

Swindon News

Swindon are also in the mix for the promotion playoffs and sit just two points behind the hosts in the table. They were held to a 1-1 home draw by Fleetwood Town last time out, with Billy Boden getting their goal.

The result at Fleetwood Town means Swindon are unbeaten in five of their last six League Two matches. Ian Holloway’s team have also done some good work on their recent travels and are unbeaten in five of their last six away matches.

Swindon are solid going forward and have scored in their last 10 League Two matches. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of those fixtures, while seven of their last 10 away matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Swindon have five wins and two draws, while Cambridge United have only been victorious once in the last eight matches. The visitors claimed a 3-2 home victory in the reverse fixture back in August.

Verdict

Cambridge Utd v Swindon

Cambridge United are generally solid at home and will be keen to maintain their good form. They have scored first in six of their last eight matches and could be backed to grab the opening goal on Thursday.

Both teams often struggle to maintain their discipline in defence and could be backed to score here. Two of the last three meetings have produced over 2.5 goals, and a similar outcome could be on the cards.
