Cambridge United Preview – Can the U’s shock the Premier League Saints?
Mark Bonner’s Cambridge United have made a decent start to their season, winning three, losing two and drawing one of their opening six league and cup fixtures. In the league, they have taken seven points from a possible 15.
Cambridge have already caused an upset in the EFL Cup this term, edging past Championship Millwall at Abbey Stadium earlier in the month. It was a tight cup tie, with Liam O’Neill’s goal on the hour mark proving to be the difference.
Cambridge will enjoy the occasion on Tuesday, but can they secure a home win in the cup? The bookies are offering 7/1 for a United success.
Southampton Preview – Hasenhuttl’s troops to book place in round three?
Southampton are one of the most unpredictable sides in the Premier League these days, and Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men have had a mixed start to their 2022-23 season. Before this weekend’s home match with Manchester United, the Saints are sitting on four points from a possible nine.
They opened the scoring against Tottenham Hotspur but fell to a 4-1 away defeat in game one. The Saints then bounced back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at home with Leeds United on matchday two. They picked up their first victory last time out, coming from behind to win 2-1 at Leicester City.
