Stevenage will play host to Cambridge United in a League One fixture at the Lamex Stadium on Tuesday night. The two sides are heading into the match on the back of contrasting results at the weekend, with the hosts getting the better of Wycombe 1-0, while the U’s lost out to Peterborough with an identical scoreline.

Stevenage saw their four-game winless run come to an end versus Wycombe on Saturday thanks to Carl Piergianni’s lone goal mid-way through the first-half. It was the Boro’s 16th league-win of the season and they are now just one point away from sixth-placed Oxford United, who have played two games more. Therefore, a victory on Tuesday will help Steve Evans’s side to climb playoff’s. Although Stevenage have managed to collect only 27 points from a possible 48 in front of their own supporters, they have been difficult to beat at Broadhall Way, losing only three home fixtures in the league this season.
Cambridge United, on the other hand, have recorded ten league wins this term and their last success came against Carlisle on February 17 thanks to Samuel Lavelle’s own goal and one effort each from Sullay Kalkai, Elias Kachunga and Ryan Bennett. Three days later, the U’s lost out to promotion chasing Bolton Wanderers despite taking the lead through Eoil Toal’s eighth-minute own goal. On Saturday, Darren Ferguson’s men suffered their 15th third-tier defeat of the campaign courtesy of Peterborough attacker Ephron Mason-Clark’s lone goal ten minutes into the second-half. Moreover, Ferguson’s men have won only three of their 15 League One game on the road this season, while two of those triumphs have come earlier this month against Shrewsbury and Carlisle.
Stevenage probable starting lineup: Ashby-Hammond, Freeman, Sweeney, Vancooten, Piergianni, Butler, Roberts, Forster-Caskey, Thompson, MacDonald, Hemmings
Cambridge United probable starting lineup: Stevens, L Bennett, R Bennett, Morrison, Andrew, Cousins, Thomas, Kaikai, Lankester, Brophy, Kachunga
