Cambridge United
Until reaching this stage of the FA Cup (Round 3), the home team had to eliminate: Coventry City and Dover Athletic. This is a team that curiously shows more positive results than at home, since in the last 30 matches it has 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses as a visitor, with 21 goals scored and 13 conceded, against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 Defeats at home, with 23 goals scored and 18 conceded.

His attack has scored regularly, as he has achieved in 9 of the last 10 games. In 15 games, he managed to turn the scoring in 2 of the 6 games in which he suffered the first goal.
Cambridge come to this motivated game, due to a 4-0 home win against Notts, adding their fifth consecutive game without losing in this competition: Berry (2 goals), Ikpeazu and Mingoia. Usually coach Shaun Derry lines up in 4-2-3-1 benefiting possession of the ball and organized attacks, however, in this game he must play directly on the counterattack. It is worth mentioning that offensive Luke Berry is Cambridge’s top scorer with 10 goals. It seems that the coach can count on all the players at his disposal.
Leeds United
The visiting team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of achieving a positive result and surprising the team of the house. This is a team little affected by the house factor, that is, presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 games has recorded 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses as a visitor, with a total of 18 goals scored and 18 conceded. Already inside the home, he won 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, with a total of 20 goals scored and 10 conceded. The team arrives in this match after a home win with Rotherham United by (3-0). In the last 10 matches played in all competitions, Leeds United has won 5, drawn 1 and lost 4. Its attack has scored regularly, as it has managed to achieve in 7 of the last 10 matches.

There are 1 highlights in the last 16 matches played as a visitor for all competitions: he suffered 8 of his 18 goals in minutes (76′-90 ‘).
The Leeds team arrives at this game with a 3-0 home win over Rotherham, their fourth win in the last six league games: goals scored by Wood and Bartley. In this away game, coach Garry Monk should keep the team in 4-4-2 with Wood and Roofe being the most offensive references: the first player to be Leeds’s top scorer with 13 goals scored. For this game the coach can not rely on Farrell, Coyle and O’Kane, players who recover from injury.
