Burton Albion will look to build on a splendid 4-1 win over AFC Wimbledon when they face Cambridge United at the Pirelli Stadium. The Brewers bounced back from a 2-1 defeat to Notts County by thrashing AFC Wimbledon in midweek, although their 0.93 xG suggests the scoreline perhaps flattered them. Burton have been difficult to beat at home lately, winning 40% of their last 10 there, while experienced defender Curtis Tilt returns from suspension.
Cambridge United, meanwhile, head into this clash on the back of a 2-1 victory over Bradford City, with substitute Benjamin Knight grabbing a late winner. The 24-year-old forward could now earn a starting berth, and the U’s have no fresh injury concerns. Cambridge have been solid defensively away from home, conceding just 0.50 goals per game across their last four away matches.
As Burton have seen both teams score in 80% of their last 10 matches, this betting option should definitely be considered, alongside Over 1.5 (67% H2H) and Over 2.5 goals (six of the last nine H2H meetings produced at least three goals).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 15:00.
