Cambridge – Bristol Rovers Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Cambridge vs Bristol Rovers lineups.
Cambridge
Cambridge suffered their first league defeat of the campaign on Tuesday night when edged 1-2 at home by Stevenage. The Abbey Boys didn’t play too badly and should have at least earned a draw.
It’s been a solid start to the season for Cambridge so far with one of each in the 3 rounds played (W1 D1 L1). Defensively remain vulnerable from set pieces though and 2 of the last 3 goals were conceded via that route.
Despite this being a third game in 7 days the gaffer might opt to trust an unchanged starting lineup. His options for rotation are very limited now anyway. As many as 5 projected starters when fit are missing due to injuries right now. Among them, star playmaker May, important centre-back Jobe and the main box-to-box midfielder Cousins.
Predicted Lineup:
Stevens (GK), L. Bennett, Morrison, R. Bennett, Andrew, Thomas, Digby, Brophy, Lankester, Okenabehire & Ahadme
Bristol Rovers
Rovers stole a dramatic 2-1 away win vs Charlton on Tuesday. McCormick came off the bench to score the winner deep in stoppage time. This was the first win of the season for the Pirates.
They remain undefeated though after drawing 1-1 in their first 2 league matches. Yet to keep a clean sheet but also yet to concede more than 1 goal in a game.
There are some serious selection issues already. Important midfielder Rossiter + influential defenders Friend and Gibbons are missing for the long term with serious injuries. Both Wilson and winger Brown got hurt in the curtain opener and haven’t played since. They could be fit enough at least for the bench now.
Predicted Lineup:
Cox (GK), Hoole, Taylor, Grama, Gordon, Ward, Thomas, Sinclair, Collins, Evans & Marquis
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Scott Sinclair
Despite his 34 years, Bristol’s winger Scott Sinclair is making an impressive start to the new season. His only start was on Tuesday, came off the bench in the first 2 rounds, but he has now scored 2 of Bristol’s last 3 league goals.
We think after his strong display in midweek Sinclair will start again now. He already showed that he doesn’t need too many minutes on the pitch to make a major impact.
