Bromley did win their only previous league meeting 1:0, but Cambridge United also have a perfect record after a match that ended 3:2.

Therefore, the most likely scenario is that the visitors score, while the hosts fail to breach the opposition defence—BTTS - No. Cambridge’s attack, averaging 1.6 goals and 1.66 xG across their last five matches, should create enough chances against a Bromley side that has conceded 12 goals.

Cambridge United have been in better defensive form, conceding just 0.6 goals per match over this period, but they are also scoring 1.6 goals, which should expose the hosts’ defensive weakness.

In both teams’ matches over the last five rounds, the 2.5-goal line was exceeded in 60% of cases, compared with 57% across the league.
