Bristol Rovers vs Cambridge United Preview
A place in the FA Cup second round will be at stake when Bristol Rovers and Cambridge United lock horns at the Memorial Stadium on Friday. The Pirates are enduring a difficult spell, having gone seven games without a win in all competitions, including a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Fleetwood in League Two. Their attacking struggles are particularly concerning, with just 0.75 goals scored per game in their last four home outings. Top scorer Alfie Kilgour will be one to watch for the hosts, while there are no fresh injury concerns.
Cambridge United, meanwhile, head into this cup tie on the back of an emphatic 6-0 EFL Trophy victory over Brighton U21. However, the U’s have struggled for consistency in League One, going four matches without a win. The League One side have nevertheless been considerably more productive in front of goal than their opponents, averaging 1.75 goals per game in their last four away fixtures. Ben Knight is expected to return to the starting XI after missing the midweek cup encounter.
Given Bristol Rovers' poor form and Cambridge's superior attacking numbers, the visitors look better placed to progress. Cambridge United draw no bet is our preferred selection, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Both Teams to Score, with Cambridge's last four away matches averaging 3.25 goals per game.
This FA Cup match will be played on Friday, 6 November 2026 at 19:30 in Memorial Stadium, Bristol, England.
