Cambridge United Preview – Can the Yellows upset the Championship club?
Mark Bonner’s Cambridge United finished 14th in the third tier last season, winning 15, drawing 13 and losing 18. It was a solid first year back in League One after winning promotion from the 2020-21 EFL League Two campaign. Can they push on and secure a top-six spot this season?
Cambridge started with an impressive win over one of the favourites for promotion. Harvey Knibbs scored the only goal of the game to give the Yellows a 1-0 victory over MK Dons at Abbey Stadium.
Cambridge look a capable outfit under Bonner these days, and the U’s will fancy their chances of edging past the Championship side on Tuesday. United are priced at 10/3 to win in the 90.
Millwall Preview – Lions to return to London with a place in the next round?
Millwall kicked off their 2022-23 Championship campaign with an excellent home win over Stoke City. Defender Charlie Cresswell was the hero, scoring in both halves to secure a 2-0 victory at The Den.
Millwall only just missed out on the top six last term, and finishing in the play-offs will be their ultimate ambition this term. They started in style, and the Lions will be looking for a positive result when they travel to Sheffield United at the weekend.
