Cambridge United, Recent FormWith a 2-0 away win last time out against Barnsley, Cambridge United will be looking forward to this one, and there will undoubtedly be a mood of confidence among their squad.
The last 6 games have been a mixed bag for them and the 4 points they have picked up belies their poor defending and unremarkable goal scoring of late, having only managed 3 goals whilst conceding 14 at the other end. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, but playing at home, they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Gassan Ahadme will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Cambridge United.
Wigan Athletic, Recent FormWigan Athletic manager Shaun Maloney will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Burton Albion.
It seems pretty certain that he will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
Thelo Aasgaard is the man of the moment at Wigan Athletic right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Cambridge United who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-1 to Wigan Athletic.
Cambridge will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Latics, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 15 meetings between the two. The U's have struggled to keep Wigan at bay when these two teams have met at Abbey Stadium, during the last 3 times they have hosted Wigan in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Abbey Stadium in the league, but Wigan will hold a slight psychological advantage having been unbeaten there in their last 5 visits.
With no real injury worries, Cambridge manager Garry Monk will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Wigan manager Shaun Maloney ahead of this clash, with Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Maloney a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
