Venue (City, Stadium) | Copperjax Community Stadium |
Two newly promoted sides collide as Bromley host Cambridge United at the Copperjax Community Stadium in League One. Both arrive off opening-day wins, so there is plenty riding on this early-season meeting.
Bromley marked their first-ever third-tier fixture with three points, edging Barnsley 1-0 away thanks to Victor Adeboyejo's 70th-minute strike against his former club. Now comes their first home outing at this level.
Cambridge United also opened with a win, beating Wigan 3-2 on home soil after racing into a 2-0 lead through Kelland Watts and Louis Appéré. Their side travel south full of confidence.
The sides met three times last season, with Cambridge winning one, both drawing one, and Bromley clinching the League Two title five points clear of the U's. This looks a genuine toss-up.
Bromley vs Cambridge Form
Bromley opened their League One campaign in style, winning 1-0 at Barnsley as Victor Adeboyejo struck against his old club. The League Two champions are strong at creating chances and protecting a lead, but finishing has been a weakness. Their stats point to a direct side who take plenty of shots and attack down the left.
Cambridge went one better on the goals front, seeing off Wigan 3-2 with Watts and Appéré on target. The U's are dangerous from set pieces and on the counter, though there is a soft underbelly at the back. There have been over 2.5 goals in each of Cambridge's last five League One games.

Bromley vs Cambridge Bet Builder
Our Bromley vs Cambridge bet builder tips back the home side to win, Michael Cheek to score anytime and both teams to find the net in front of a full house at the Copperjax Community Stadium.
Bromley to win is the first leg. They took the points on the road at Barnsley and now get their first crack at home comforts, where creating chances and protecting a lead are among their stronger suits.
Michael Cheek to score anytime is next. He leads the line for Bromley, and against a Cambridge back line that has shipped at least two goals in four straight League One outings, he should get his looks.
Both teams to score completes the goals theme. Cambridge carry a threat from set pieces and on the counter, and with over 2.5 goals in their last five League One games, the net should bulge at both ends.
Those three legs combine into a tidy home-leaning wager that leans on goals flowing freely between two leaky defences and a home crowd behind Bromley.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 29/4 and is as short as 5.47/1 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of £28 from best to worst price.

Bromley vs Cambridge Talking Points
This is a meeting of two clubs on the up, with Bromley having claimed the League Two title last season and Cambridge returning to League One alongside them. Both opened with wins, and both carry defensive question marks, which is why the goals markets look the way in. Bromley's first home game at this level should bring a lively atmosphere, with Cambridge's sold-out following of more than 800 adding to the occasion. Expect an open, competitive contest between sides who know each other well and are well matched on the early evidence.
