Match Preview | Cambridge United v Wanderers

Cambridge Preview

Wanderers are straight back into action following Saturday's 2-1 win over Blackpool, a result which saw the Whites extend their unbeaten league run at home to six games.

Aaron Collins' 94th minute winner earned Ian Evatt's side a well-deserved victory after a much improved second half performance - scoring twice to come from behind to claim all three points.

The Whites head to Cambridge looking for a repeat result of their last journey to the Cledara Abbey Stadium in February, which saw Wanderers return home victorious thanks to a 63rd minute winner from Carlos Mendes Gomes.

Tuesday's hosts will begin the game in the relegation places following their goalless draw away at Northampton Town on Saturday.

Manager Quotes

Ian Evatt: "We have to be mentally, physically, technically and tactically in the right space and place to give our best and give our best performance and if we can do that, we are a hard team to stop.

"We're 15 games in and there’s a long, long way to go. I think this season is going to be incredibly tight and that includes everybody. Nothing I have seen so far makes me change that opinion. It's the team that stays the course which is important, and we need to be that team."
