Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Cambridge vs Reading lineups.
Cambridge
Cambridge lost for the first time in the league last weekend when beaten 0-2 by Leyton Orient. The U’s won their first 2 home matches of the campaign with the same scoreline – 2-0. They have now recorded 5 wins in their last 7 home league matches stretching to last season.
This will be the first meeting between the sides since 2002 so no real history to talk about in the last 2 decades.
Star striker Elias Kachunga has recovered from injury and is available. He could start instead of the disappointing last weekend Kaikai.
5 players are missing due to injuries right now. Among them are the influential playmaker May and the main left-back Haunstrup. The U’s are used to being without them though as both have been long-term absentees.
Predicted Lineup:
Stevens (GK), Andrew, Morrison, Bennett, Digby, Brophy, Thomas, Lankester, Jobe, Dunk & Kachunga
Reading
Suffered a dramatic defeat vs Exeter last weekend. Played well but wasted too many chances to concede in stoppage time and lose the game. Yet to record a draw this season (W2 L3). On the road lost both games so far.
Strikers Wing and Smiths remain sidelined. At least, the main forward Knibbs has been passed fit and he is expected to start. Winger Mukairu picked up a knock in the last match and together with Bindon and Camara he faces a late fitness test.
Predicted Lineup:
Button (GK), Mbengue, Dean, Abbey, Carson, Azeez, Savage, Hutchinson, Knibbs, Kelvin & Vickers
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Elias Kachunga
Cambridge’s striker Kachunga has been very influential so far. In the first 4 rounds, he was directly involved in 78% of the big chances created.
Kachunga has recovered from injury and if he starts again as we expect he is bound to be in the thick of the action again when the U’s attack.
