Recent respective form guides
Cambridge United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While U's have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Oxford Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the U's, and 2 goals against.
Cambridge U. find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 35 points from their 31 matches. Oxford Utd. are leading the way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, with their 31 games giving them a return of 69 points.
