Cheltenham – Cambridge preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Cheltenham vs Cambridge lineups.

Cheltenham

Cheltenham remain dead last and with only 2 points from 12 league games. However, after going without a goal for months Cheltenham finally scored their first goal of the campaign in the last round when they drew 1-1 at home vs Derby. This was also the first home point of the campaign. 

The season is long and survival is still possible but the goals need to start coming soon for that hope to remain alive. 

Street should continue starting up front as the main centre forward George Lloyd remains sidelined. Street’s confidence will be good as he was the player to score Cheltenham’s first goal in the last round. 

There are some serious problems in defence for this one with the pair of starting centre-backs ruled out. Curtis Davies is serving a ban, while Grant Horton remains in rehabilitation. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Southwood (GK), Long, Bevan, Freestone, Smith, Bonds, Sercombe, Ferry, Olayinka, Street & Goodwin

Cambridge

Cambridge’s form has been in sharp decline lately. The U’s only drew 1-1 at home vs Shrewsbury in the last round. Struggled to create chances in this match and was lucky to earn a point. This left Cambridge with a single win in their last 8 league matches. 

The U’s also lost both league games vs Cheltenham last season with the same 1-2 scorelines. Cambridge have actually won only 1 of the last 9 H2Hs. 

The squad is almost at full strength with only backup options Dunk and Kachunga remaining in the treatment room. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Stevens (GK), L. Bennett, Morrison, R. Bennett, Andrew, Digby, Thomas, Brophy, Lankester, Gordon & Fejiri

​Starting Lineups

The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

​Player to Watch: Miles Leaburn

Charlton's 19-year-old striker Miles Leaburn is having a breakthrough year and he comes into this match very high on confidence. 

Leaburn scored 3 goals in Charlton's last 3 matches. He also contributed 2 assists in the last 2 home games. The young forward simply can't get enough of this right now and he will certainly fancy his chances against the very shaky Reading defence.
