Prediction for the Bromley vs Cambridge United Match
The "Ravens," founded in the late 19th century, remained amateurs for a long time, although they found success in that format, winning several national amateur cups. Despite their history, Bromley struggled to break into League Two, and last autumn, they even hired a coaching staff member discovered through Football Manager. Ironically, this unconventional approach paid off as they secured third place in the Conference and won the playoffs. Cambridge United also played in the fifth division not too long ago but gradually rose to League One, where they secured an 18th-place finish last season.
As a newcomer to the fourth division, Bromley strengthened their squad traditionally through free transfers and loans, including the simultaneous arrival of Thomas and Congreve from Swansea. Cambridge United also added several young players, most notably under the leadership of Garry Monk, a Swansea legend who resumed his coaching career with Cambridge United in March after managing clubs like Leeds, Middlesbrough, Birmingham, and Sheffield Wednesday.
However, Cambridge's start to the season has been disappointing, with an early exit from the League Cup at the hands of QPR and only one point from their first four league matches. Bromley started the season with a couple of wins but have since suffered defeats against Bradford and Crewe.
