League Two
Our Three Predictions For Cambridge United vs Bromley:
- First Prediction For Cambridge United vs Bromley: Match Result – Draw – 21/10
- Second Prediction For Cambridge United vs Bromley: Under 2.5 Goals – 4/6
- Third Prediction For Cambridge United vs Bromley: Both Teams To Score – Yes – 9/10
First Prediction For Cambridge United vs Bromley: Match Result – Draw – 21/10
Despite losing last weekend, Cambridge United fare much better on their own patch this season. Only 2 sides have picked up more points than the U’s 13 this season, winning 4 out of 6. And with back-to-back wins at the Abbey Stadium, United will be hoping to make that three on the bounce this weekend.
But their task is a difficult one against a Bromley side who leapfrogged Cambridge with three points at Crewe Alexandra last Saturday. That ended a run of successive losses away from South East London, with the Ravens starting the campaign with 2 draws and a victory. Andy Woodman’s side are eleventh in the away table this season.
But, it seems very difficult to separate these two teams on paper, making a draw this Saturday feel like the likely outcome.
Second Prediction For Cambridge United vs Bromley: Under 2.5 Goals – 4/6
Only Gillingham have conceded fewer times than the U’s on their own patch this season. Before their loss at Shrewsbury Town, they had shipped 3 goals in the past 4 games. Overall, Neil Harris’ outfit have only 4 goals against in 6 games at home this term.
And their opponents on Saturday are almost as good in that department. Bromley have conceded 6 times in as many games away from home this season. Keeping 2 clean sheets on the road is no mean feat for any League Two side. With that in mind, expect this encounter to be a relatively low-scoring one.
Third Prediction For Cambridge United vs Bromley: Both Teams To Score – Yes – 9/10
At the other end of the pitch, neither side are particularly great. Cambridge have 9 goals from 6 games, though they have seen an upturn in recent weeks with 5 goals in their last 2 games. And if you include their EFL Trophy success, then it’s back-to-back 3-goal hauls at home for Neil Harris’ side.
Bromley are ranked 4th lowest for away goals scored in League Two this season, with 5. That is a complete contrast to their home form, where they joint 3rd highest, netting 13. Nevertheless, expect both teams to find the net this weekend.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Cambridge United’s hit-and-miss start to the season continued on Saturday, when they were defeated by lowly Shrewsbury Town. After putting together a mini unbeaten run of four games, the U’s were brought back down to Earth in Shropshire. Up until that point, October had been a good month to be a Cambridge fan with back-to-back victories in all competitions.
Consecutive 3-1 victories over Luton Town in the Vertu Trophy, and Crawley Town in League Two had continued a decent haul from September. While the month began by losing against Oldham Athletic, the U’s took 5 points from their remaining 3 games. That could so easily have been 7 after conceding in the 97th minute to draw at Grimsby Town.
A defeat at Fulham ended their Carabao Cup progress at the Third Round stage, while Neil Harris’ side defeated Fleetwood Town and drew at Tranmere Rovers. Looking ahead, the U’s look for a second victory in the EFL Trophy at Barnet, before ending the month with a sizeable encounter at Notts County.
Ever since Bromley’s unbeaten start to the season ended at Oldham Athletic a month ago, the Ravens had gone 5 games without victory in all competitions. But that run came to an end last weekend with a stirring win at Crewe Alexandra, thanks to Michael Cheek’s sixth league goal of the season.
In fairness, their form prior to that had been okay, with their only other league defeat coming at the hands of Swindon Town. High-scoring draws against Chesterfield and Tranmere Rovers had provided plenty of entertainment, and 10 goals. While a week ago, the Ravens were defeated by League One leaders Stevenage in the EFL Trophy.
Meanwhile, in the Carabao Cup, Bromley recorded their greatest ever result by defeating Ipswich Town in the First Round on penalties. That was part of a 10-match unbeaten streak in 90 minutes across all competitions at the start of the season, losing on spot-kicks against Wycombe Wanderers in Round Two. A highly anticipated encounter against high-flying Milton Keynes Dons is the Ravens’ final encounter of October.
These sides have only ever met once before, in the EFL Trophy last season, making this their first-ever league meeting. Bromley prevailed 5-4 on penalties following a 3-3 draw in normal time. Cambridge had fought from 2-0 down to lead, before Olufela Olomola’s 90th-minute equaliser.
