Team News, Preview, and Cambridge Utd vs Stevenage Lineups

Cambridge Utd

It has been a hectic start to the season for every League One side with multiple games coming in the first ten days of August. Cambridge was one of the teams that lost in the EFL Cup only days after their first win of the season.

Probable lineup: Stevens, L. Bennett, Morrison, R. Bennett, Andrew, Digby, Thomas, Brophy, Lankester, Janneh, Ahadme.

Stevenage

The home team had an almost perfect summer winning four out of their six friendly matches and losing only once. They continued with a good run of form with a victory in the season opener and advancing to the EFL Cup.

Probable lineup: Hegyi, Piergianni, N. Thompson, Burns, Butler, Forster-Caskey, L. Thompson, Wildin, Roberts, Pressley, March.

Player to Watch: James Brophy

There haven't been many clubs that James Brophy played during his career, the 29-year-old is on his third team at Cambridge United. He is one of the highest-valued players on the team, but his biggest negative aspect is that there aren't many goals coming from his side of the field. During 105 appearances for Cambridge, Brophy scored only one goal but managed to deliver nine assists.

Brophy's disciplinary record, on the other hand, is something to think about as he got 14 yellow cards. Earlier in his career, he played for Leyton Orient and Swindon Town. In total, Brophy featured in 328 games while scoring eleven goals with 28 assists on the record as well.

Starting lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
