County have sustained a good undefeated streak of form to hold on to the coattails of league leaders. Regardless of what happens to them in this one, they will finish no lower than second at Christmas. But can they put pressure on leaders Luton by winning this home game? The low-scoring Cambridge have fallen back out of form again and may not prove to be too tough of a hurdle for County to overcome.

Cambridge UtdNotts County Form
County have gone unbeaten in their last eight league games now with a W3 D5 record. That’s a lot of drawn matches going on for them though. At home, they have won three and drawn one of their last four and they have rattled off at least two goals in each of the three victories in that sequence. They have been struggling for clean sheets recently with only two in their last twelve, but they are facing a Cambridge side who don’t pose a big attacking threat so County to win to nil has big appeal. They have remained unbeaten on home soil in the league this season and have been winning at half time in six of their eleven home fixtures. They have netted an average of two goals per game at home and have conceded just seven goals on home turf.
Cambridge Form
Cambridge have won just one of their last seven games in the league right now and they have lost their last two back to back, conceding two goals exactly in both of them. Cambridge have not won out on the road since back on September 12th at Crewe and have gone D3 L4 since then. Cambridge have taken a clean sheet in four of their last seven league games now so have kept things tight for the most part. They haven’t scored in each of their last six away games now so aren’t likely going to break out a win in this one at all. But they should keep it under 2.5 goals just on how much better their defence has been doing lately.
