Match preview: Taking a punt on Orient against Cambridge United
30.10.26, 14:34 Updated 01.11.26, 18:37 4 Minute Read
Cambridge is the nearest thing to a local derby that we have, and they get visitor rights first this season, with our always much-anticipated away day in the Fens coming at the end of January.
The Us have got off to a flying start in League One after their brief sojourn in the basement division and are sitting pretty in seventh place. They bagged a draw away at Hillsborough on Tuesday night, extending their unbeaten away record to 10 points out of 18 on the road.
Their two previous visits to Hillsborough in the 21/22 and 22/23 seasons resulted in 6-0 and 5-0 defeats respectively, which does rather suggest that Cambridge are a somewhat different proposition this season, and are showing much more resilience on the road.
