What time is kick-off for Cambridge United vs Wycombe Wanderers?
Cambridge United v Wycombe Wanderers kicks off at 19:45 BST on Tuesday, 20 October 2026 at the Cledara Abbey Stadium in Cambridge, a League One fixture between two sides that both won their previous game. Other kick-off times are on the live football match list.
Cambridge United form: six games without defeat
Twelve points from six games, and no losses in them. Cambridge have won 3 and drawn 3, scoring 9 and conceding 6, which is the profile of a side that rarely gets taken apart: they have conceded two or more in just 1 of those 6.
The two most recent wins tell you how they do it. A 1-0 at home to Blackpool 10 days before this match, then 2-1 away to Barnsley three days before it. Before that came a pair of 1-1 draws, at home to AFC Wimbledon and away at Oxford United.
At home Harris's side have won 2 of 3.
Wycombe Wanderers form: everything happens in their games
Wycombe have scored 12 and conceded 11 in six matches. Four of those six produced three or more goals in the game, and they have shipped two or more in 4 of 6. Eleven points is a decent return from that, but it has been earned the hard way.
Their away record is the striking part: won 2 of 2, 1-0 at Wigan Athletic and 3-2 at Leyton Orient. At home it is 1 win from 4, including a 1-4 defeat by Luton Town 10 days before this match and a 3-3 draw with Milton Keynes Dons. The 2-0 against Notts County three days before this game was their most controlled performance of the run.
Team news for Cambridge United vs Wycombe Wanderers
Cambridge United are without Callum Stead, Callum Perry and Shane McLoughlin, and came through the Barnsley win with no fresh problems, so Harris could name an unchanged side with Shayne Lavery pushing for a start after his late winner at Oakwell, according to Sports Mole. Harris also said he would make a late fitness call on captain Dom Ball, and praised Wycombe's intensity and pressing in comments to the Cambridge Independent. Wycombe Wanderers picked up no additional injury concerns against Notts County and are expected to keep Jack Grimmer at right-back with Fred Onyedinma and Jayden Wareham in attack, Sports Mole reports.
The numbers pull in opposite directions. Cambridge have conceded two or more once in six; Wycombe have done it four times. Neither side has failed to score in any of their last six, and both teams scored in 5 of Cambridge's six matches and 4 of Wycombe's.
Cambridge United vs Wycombe Wanderers prediction
Our prediction for Cambridge United vs Wycombe Wanderers in League One is a narrow home win, 2-1. Cambridge have not lost in their last six and have won 2 of 3 at home, and a defence that has been breached twice in a game only once should cope with a Wycombe attack that needs space to be at its best.
Wycombe's 2 wins from 2 on the road make this closer than the table positions might suggest, and their games keep producing goals, so a clean sheet for either side looks unlikely. Cambridge's habit of winning tight ones is the tiebreaker.
Our prediction: Cambridge United 2-1 Wycombe Wanderers
