Cambridge United, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Cambridge United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Leyton Orient.
Manager Mark Bonner will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games whilst also keeping a clean sheet in 4 of those games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Goalscorer Sullay Kaikai will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cambridge United.
Reading, Recent FormReading will not be too troubled by their 2-1 away defeat against Exeter City, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 16 most recent trips.
Reading will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 5 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 14 games.
Jahmari Clarke will be hoping to create problems for Cambridge United in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Reading.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
The Cambridge defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Royals have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 4 meetings at Abbey Stadium.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Abbey Stadium in the league, but Cambridge will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
With no real injury worries, Cambridge manager Mark Bonner will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Reading manager Rubén Sellés ahead of this clash, with Harlee Dean (Muscle) missing out, which gives Sellés a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
