Cambridge United

After beginning April with a 3-1 win over Wigan Athletic, Cambridge have gone on to experience a difficult run of results, losing three of their last four matches by a 1-0 scoreline.

The U's were edged out in Saturday's home clash with promotion hopefuls Derby County after Nathaniel Mendez-Laing's first-half effort proved to be a difference between the two sides.

Having taken just one point from their last four matches, Garry Monk's side are yet to secure their League One status with five points separating them from 21st-placed Cheltenham Town.

However, with just two games left to play, Cambridge will be mathematically safe if they claim all three points in Tuesday's home meeting.

Even if they fail to beat Wycombe, the U's will also be guaranteed safety if Cheltenham fail to beat Peterborough in League One's other game on Tuesday evening.

Wycombe Wanderers

Wycombe will be undeterred by the prospect of a fourth consecutive away fixture, having won each of their last three matches against Shrewsbury Town, Port Vale and Carlisle United.

Gareth McCleary opened the scoring in Saturday's clash at Brunton Park, before Carlisle's Alfie McCalmont netted a 28th-minute equaliser to send the two sides into the break on level terms.

However, Matt Bloomfield's side still managed to return to Buckinghamshire with all three points thanks to Richard Kone's 49th-minute strike and McCleary's second goal of the match.

After putting together a three-game winning run, the Chairboys are sitting in 11th place with 61 points to their name, leaving them on the brink of securing a top-half finish for a third consecutive season.

Wycombe have fared well on their recent trips to Abbey Stadium, having won each of their previous four away games against Cambridge.

Prediction: Cambridge United 1-3 Wycombe Wanderers
