Cambridge University? No, no, no! I don’t think so! Cambridge United v Southend United
Cambridge University?
No, no, no! I don’t think so! Cambridge United v Southend United
Southend United make the short trip to Cambridge on Boxing Day, for the first time since 2005.
Blues go into the game on the back of a 0-0 draw with fellow promotion contenders Burton Albion, whilst Cambridge also drew their last match, 1-1 away at Tranmere Rovers.
The two sides have met a total of 30 times, with Southend winning half of the 30 games played. Cambridge have won 7, whilst there have been 8 draws. Cambridge & Southend first met as recently as 1970, when Southend comprehensively won 3-0 at The Abbey Stadium, which still remains as Cambridge’s ground.
Overall Meetings:
Cambridge Wins: 8
Draws: 7
Southend Wins: 15

Cambridge’s Last 5 Results
Tranmere Rovers (A) – D 1-1
Mansfield Town (A) – W 0-1 – FA Cup Second Round Replay
Shrewsbury Town (H) – D 0-0
Mansfield Town (H) – D 2-2 – FA Cup Second Round
AFC Wimbledon (A) – W 1-2
What Could Happen?
A win for Cambridge would put them up to 9th if all other results go their way. If this was to happen, they would only be 3 points behind Southend.
A win for Blues can only take them up one place to 5th, but that can only happen if Plymouth Argyle lose.
Team News
Cambridge: The home side are without ex-Blues trialist Jordan Chedozie, whist others who could miss out are Harrison Dunk, Tom Elliott & Ryan Donaldson. New signing (from Cork City) Gearoid Morrissey, could make his first U’s appearance.
Southend: Personally, I expect an unchanged side from the one that drew with Burton last Friday. Blues only two absentees are Jerome Binnom-Williams (Suspended – 2nd match of 3) and Mads Ibenfeldt (Broken foot). Of course, Lee Barnard remains on loan at Stevenage.
I was unable to get any Cambridge views this week.
Merry Christmas and thank you to all who read these previews & reports! Be sure to look out for my Mid-Season Review/Preview, to be published sometime around the new year period!
