Burton will be playing League One football next season as they are sitting eight points clear of the drop zone with two games remaining. The Brewers suffered their 20th league-defeat of the season against Plymouth last Saturday courtesy of Nial Ennis’s lone goal on the stroke of half-time. Prior to that, Dino Maamria’s men got the better of Lincoln City at Sincil Bank thanks to Gassan Ahadme’s 79th-minute effort. It was their 14th third tier victory of the season. Meanwhile, Burton have lost only one of their last eight home games in League One, picking up five wins along the way.
Cambridge United, on the other hand, have collected just 15 points from their 22 away games in the league this season, and seven of those points were taken from their last four outings. Last Saturday, Cambridge United recorded their 12th third tier victory of the season at Accrington thanks to goals from Harris Dunk and George Thomas. The U’s have now given themselves a fighting chance of beating the drop courtesy of winning four of their last seven games. A victory on Wednesday will help them leapfrog Morecambe and MK Dons into the 20th spot. Meanwhile, Cambridge United secured a thrilling 4-3 win over Burton in the reverse fixture in August last year thanks to Sam Smith’s hat-trick and one goal from Liam O’Neil.
