Match Preview
Cambridge United will host Crawley Town at Abbey Stadium on Saturday, 4th October, in what promises to be an intriguing League Two encounter. The home side comes into the match with a mixed bag of results, having secured a win, a draw, and three losses in their last five outings. In contrast, Crawley Town is struggling significantly, with five consecutive defeats that have left them at the bottom of the league table. This stark difference in form could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match.
Historically, Cambridge has enjoyed a strong record against Crawley, winning seven of their last ten meetings, including three victories at home. Given Crawley's defensive frailties, as evidenced by their inability to secure a single point in recent weeks, Cambridge will likely look to exploit this weakness. With both teams having shown a propensity for goals in their encounters—five of the last ten matches featured over 2.5 goals—there could be opportunities for Cambridge to not only secure a vital three points but also to boost their goal difference in the process.
