Cambridge are sat in mid-table and they are keeping themselves ticking over mostly through their home form. They collected a solid enough win on Boxing Day over the struggling Barnet and will be looking to push on a bit. Crewe have managed to land a couple of wins recently to keep themselves just above the drop zone but they haven’t managed to collect any kind of consistency.

Crewe AlexandraCambridge Form
The U’s have some pretty strong home form going this season with a W7 D2 L3 record and they have won two of their last three there. Both of those were 1-0 victories which is going to be worth a look in the correct score market. Cambridge have lost only one of their last six home fixtures so they are in pretty good shape there. Cambridge have averaged 1.25 goals per game on home soil this season and have been tight at the back conceding just under a goal per game. They have opened the scoring in half of their home games and overall 70% of their points this season have occurred on home soil. Only Crawley and Morecambe have scored fewer goals than Cambridge have managed this season though.
Crewe Alexandra Form
The Railwaymen have gone W3 L3 in their last six games played and two of those victories did happen out on the road as well. They have only produced a W3 L8 record away from home this season and they have only recorded the nine goals in their eleven games. Five of their eight away defeats have only been by the one-goal margin and they have conceded an average of 1.5 goals per away game. Two-thirds of their away goals have come in the first half of matches but they have lost 73% of their away matches. Only three teams have shipped fewer goals that what Crewe have done this season. But they have improved a bit lately with two clean sheets in their last three, so at least that’s a positive.
