Burton v Cambridge predictions

Burton picked up only two points from their first seven League One matches this season but the Brewers have enjoyed better results in recent weeks and they can beat Cambridge at the Pirelli Stadium.

The visitors finished one point above the relegation zone last season, losing 1-0 at Burton during a tense end to the campaign, and they look short of attacking firepower this term.

Cambridge's only goal in their last four away matches in all competitions came from the penalty spot and they have been reliant on late strikes, with their last six goals arriving in the 66th, 76th, 83rd, 79th, 96th and 80th minutes.

Burton also pounced late on in last Tuesday's 2-1 comeback win over Wigan and that result extended their unbeaten run to five matches.

They claimed their first win of the season on September 19, triumphing 3-2 at Port Vale, before league draws against Fleetwood and Reading either side of a 2-0 EFL Trophy success against Everton Under-21s.

The absence of striker Cole Stockton, who has made only two appearances since his summer move from Morecambe, has hampered Burton's attacking threat but it may only take one goal to see off Cambridge – as it did in this fixture last season.

Mark Bonner's visitors won three of their first four home matches to give themselves a flying start in the race to secure their third-division status.

However, they were thumped 4-0 at home to Barnsley last time out and could come up short against a Burton side growing in confidence.
