Cambridge Utd v Wycombe

Cambridge vs Wycombe Preview

Cambridge United's tense finish to this season's League One campaign further intensified on the weekend when The U's were handed a third defeat in four games as they suffered a 1-0 loss at home to promotion-chasing Derby County, while Wycombe Wanderers lifted themselves up into the top half of the League One table with a comprehensive 3-1 win away from home at an already relegated Carlisle United outfit.

Cambridge United have two more games to secure their third flight status but the hosts sit in 19th place in the League One table where they hold a five-point cushion between themselves and the relegation zone but having lost three of their last four games, Cambridge United are still not mathematically out of the woods yet.

The U's have been dealt previous defeats by the likes of Blackpool and Bristol Rovers, both of which were 1-0 losses away from home while also picking up a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Charlton Athletic as well.

The bigger picture shows Cambridge United have managed to capture just two wins from their last 13 matches overall in League One with wins against Barnsley and Wigan Athletic, but having also been dealt nine defeats within this period as well, this could be a tricky and uncomfortable 90 minutes for the hosts.

Wycombe Wanderers not only collected a third win on the trot in Saturday's League One 3-1 win away from home at Carlisle United but even more impressive is the fact that this win was The Chairboys' third away win on the trot as well.

Wycombe will therefore be seeking to make it four away wins on the bounce on Tuesday night when they make the relatively short trip to the Abbey Stadium to take on a floundering Cambridge United outfit in a positive frame of mind.

Despite leaving it too late to make a challenge on the top six and a play-off spot this season, Wycombe Wanderers have produced a promising spell of form in recent weeks in the English third tier which has yielded six wins from their last nine games overall.

Within this nine-game spell, Wycombe have been handed just the one defeat which came in the form of a 3-1 loss at home to already promoted Portsmouth but victories achieved on their travels against the likes of Reading, Shrewsbury Town, Port Vale and Carlisle United should stand Matt Bloomfield's side in good stead for this Tuesday night clash.

Cambridge United v Wycombe Wanderers Verdict
