Cambridge United prepare for a key League One fixture at home to Blackpool this Saturday, aiming to extend their recent unbeaten form. The U's sit sixth in the table with 13 points from eight games, just three points off the top, and have not lost in their last five outings.
Their most recent result was a 2-1 EFL Trophy victory over Northampton Town last Tuesday, with goals from Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu and Gassan Ahadme. That win followed a 1-1 home draw with AFC Wimbledon and a 4-1 away thrashing of Gillingham in the same competition. The team's current form of three wins and two draws in the last five has provided a solid platform for the league campaign ahead.
Blackpool arrive at the Abbey Stadium in 15th place, having drawn their last two matches in the EFL Trophy. They were held 2-2 by Crewe Alexandra at home last week, with a similar scoreline against Bromley in September. Their last starting lineup featured experienced players like Jordan Williams and Jordan Bowler, but they have struggled for consistency this season.
The U's have shown resilience, coming from behind to earn points against Oxford United and Wimbledon in recent weeks.
The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday 10 October at the Abbey Stadium.
