A dominant 3-0 win for Cambridge over promotion rivals Carlisle at the weekend sent a clear statement of intent to the rest of the division. It was a match in which the U’s showed how clinical they can be in attack and although their opponents are not quite as potent as they were earlier in the season, a clean sheet was still an impressive achievement. Clean sheets is something that has eluded them for much of the campaign and this is shown in the fact that 61% of their home matches in the league this term has finished with both teams managing to find the back of the net.

Hartlepool’s bid for survival took a body blow with the weekend defeat to a resurgent Notts County side, so they will surely be keen to get straight back to action to right the wrong’s as soon as possible. Pool did manage to find the back of the net in that match and they seem to often be in matches where both teams manage to get on the score-sheet. Over the course of the season an impressive 67% of their games have finished with both teams scoring.
