Recent respective form guides

Cambridge United have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The U's's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

Bristol Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Pirates have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Cambridge U. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 35 points from their 31 matches. Bristol Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Nationwide League Division Three, showing a record of 37 points from their 31 games played so far,
