Under 1.5 Burton Goals
The Brewers are surely lacking punch these days. Ever since Victor Adeboyejo left coach Dino Maamria’s camp, Burton Albion’s staff just can’t find a proper replacement for Victor. Now, he’s strutting his stuff at the University of Bolton Stadium while Burton Albion struggle to make an impact.
The Brewers couldn’t score a single goal in their last four league games so it will be quite surprising to see our Burton vs Cambridge predictions fail.
Over 2.5 Goals
Perhaps contradictory to our first tip, this one says the clash at Pirelli Stadium will have plenty of goals for the fans to cheer for. The two teams faced each other on six occasions not one of which ended with under 2.5 goals.
The most goals we’ve seen in a single match between these two sides was on the 27th of August when Cambridge crushed Burton 4-3 at home. Our Burton vs Cambridge predictions are also based on the fact that nothing short but a victory will suit the visitors as they are in dire need of points. After all, Cambridge are in the relegation zone but have a mathematical chance to survive in League One.

Burton vs Cambridge Lineups & Team News
Burton
On the 25th of April, the Brewers had a rather impressive game versus the Imps. The match was held at Sincil Bank and while it was mostly controlled by Burton, the Brewers had difficulties producing clear goalscoring chances in the first half of the game. It took 79th minutes for the Brewers to open the score after fresh-feet Gassan Ahadme turned one point into three for Burton Albion.
Predicted lineup – MacGillivray (GK), Brayford, Hughes, Moon, Ashworth, Shaughnessy, Powell, Oshilaja, Smith, Helm & Taylor
Cambridge
Cambridge United’s last League One visit was the most difficult game coach Mark Bonner’s side had in the 2022/23 campaign. It was a head-to-head versus Plymouth Argyle who, expectedly pipped the U’s 3-1. The clash at Home Park was completely under the Pilgrims’ control so we have another plus in favor of our Burton vs Cambridge predictions.
Predicted lineup – Mitov (GK), Okedina, R. Bennett, Morrison, Seddon, Digby, McGrandles, L. Bennet, Brophy, Smith & Knibbs

Player to Watch: Sam Smith
If it weren’t for Sam Smith, we wouldn’t have supplied you with Burton vs Cambridge predictions favoring the visitors. First of all, Sam Smith is the U’s top scorer this season. He slid it past the goalkeepers on 12 occasions. There are very few players that can match his tremendous tally this season.
Second of all, he achieved all of that by playing for a relegation-related club like Cambridge. If he had better teammates, there’s no telling what his goal contribution for Cambridge would’ve looked like at this point. Surely he will be under the spotlight at Pirelli Stadium this week.
Frequently Asked Burton vs Cambridge Questions:
- Will Adam May play on Wednesday? – Sadly, no. The 25-year-old Cambridge midfielder has a cruciate ligament injury that will probably take him out until July.
- What’s the venue for Burton vs Cambridge? – This match will be held at Pirelli Stadium.
- Who’s Burton Albion’s top finisher this season? – Victor Adeboyejo with 11 league goals. However, Victor is no longer part of the Brewers after a tempting €570k Bolton bid during the winter transfer window turned him into a Trotter.
