Stanley are well positioned inside the top three heading into the weekend and they will look to use home advantage to further strengthen their automatic promotion push. They have been in great form lately but they are going up against another form team in this one. Cambridge have rattled off three straight league wins and sprung a surprise over fifth-placed Notts County in midweek as well.

Accrington
CambridgeAccrington
Stanley have produced well on home soil this season and they are in cracking home form with a five-match winning streak going at the Crown Ground. Their most recent success there was a 1-0 victory over Crewe. Seven of their home wins have been by a one-goal margin only and so this is probably going to another narrow affair. They have netted in each of their last ten home games now and overall in their last twelve league outings. So there is more than a decent chance that they will get something on the board. They have conceded at an average of a goal per game and 62% of their home fixtures have made it above 2.5 goals. Stanley are starting the weekend in third place and at a point would guarantee that they stay in there.
Cambridge
The U’s have won three on the bounce and they are unbeaten in four. They can’t match anywhere near the kind of firepower that Accrington can though. Actually, Cambridge have the fourth-lowest tally of goals in the division this season. But that shows how good their defence is at least and they have bagged two clean sheets in their last four games. Their away form though isn’t good enough to suggest that they can go and land a win at a top-three side as they have gone just W1 D2 L3 in their last six away games and have won only three times on their travels overall this season. They have scored only the thirteen goals in their seventeen away games so they aren’t a huge threat, but they are on a four-match scoring streak on the road though.
Accrington vs Cambridge Betting Tip Head to Head
Accrington have won three of their last four on home soil against Cambridge (D1) and there was a 0- 0 draw played out between them earlier this term. There have only been the nine previous meetings between the two clubs and from that head to head, it is Accrington who are 4-2 up with the drawn matches. Cambridge have won just one of their last eight against Stanley.
Top Accrington vs Cambridge Betting Tip
The U’s deserve some credit for their work recently, however, Accrington are going so well, especially on home soil that they are likely going to grab a win. It will probably be a narrow win at that, just because the U’s are shaping up well and have a decent enough defence.
