The Bulls entertain Cambridge for the first time in 10 years, when the sides met three times at Edgar Street during 1996.
The best remembered of those fixtures was in January 1996, when Steve White bagged four goals in the Bulls 5-2 win. A 3-0 win followed in August, but the roles were reversed in October when the U's gained a 1-0 win. The Bulls have the upper hand in encounters at Edgar Street, but Cambridge are 11-9 ahead overall in professional competition.
The Bulls fightback against Grays on Saturday showed the spirit of the side was there, bouyed by an encouraging debut by new signing Nicky Nicolau, to extend their unbeaten Conference run to seven matches. Guy Ipoua's withdrawal after less than half an hour is likely to be a cause of concern, but with a new striker seemingly imminent and two perfectly capable strikers finishing the game on Saturday, manager Graham Turner should not be short of options.
Cambridge are likely to feature ex-Bull Jon Brady, who ended a disappointing six month stay at Edgar Street by moving on a free transfer. Brady has played all three games since the move, but has failed to inspire a win out of his new teammates with Cambridge having gained only two draws in the last four matches. Their away form is very poor with a solitary win, at Morecambe, and just eight goals on their travels.
Hereford United vs Cambridge United, Edgar Street, Tuesday 31st January, 7.45pm.
