Match preview

Cambridge United host Millwall at the Abbey Stadium in the Round of 64 of the EFL Cup, with both sides carrying solid early-season momentum. The hosts enter this cup tie unbeaten in their last five fixtures across all competitions, recording two victories and three draws, including home wins over Wigan (3-2) and Barnet (2-1).

Millwall arrive in impressive form, having won three and drawn two of their last five matches. The Lions have kept three clean sheets in that run, highlighted by recent consecutive shutouts against Bristol City (2-0) and Norwich (3-0). However, the visitors are dealing with a notable list of fitness concerns, with seven players sidelined including F. Azeez, M. Luongo, and M. Ivanovic.

The historical cup head-to-head between the two sides is split evenly across two League Cup meetings, with Cambridge securing a 1-0 victory in 2022 and Millwall prevailing 3-1 in 2021. With both teams proving difficult to break down in recent weeks, a competitive cup encounter is expected.

Key factors

  • Millwall are unbeaten across their last five matches, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only two goals.
  • Cambridge United are also on a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions (2 wins, 3 draws).
  • Millwall have seven reported injury absences, including F. Azeez, M. Luongo, and M. Ivanovic.
  • Cambridge United report no player absences heading into the tie.
  • The last two EFL Cup meetings between these clubs are balanced with one win apiece (Cambridge 1-0 in 2022, Millwall 3-1 in 2021).

Confidence72%

Millwall enter this fixture in commanding form, unbeaten in their last five fixtures while conceding only two goals across that span. Although Cambridge United have shown defensive resilience and are also unbeaten in five matches, Millwall's back-to-back clean sheet victories over Bristol City and Norwich provide a solid foundation. Backing Millwall in the Double Chance market hedges against a potential stalemate in cup knockout conditions.
