Look at this intriguing game in the League One. Cambridge United is in the 14th spot after participating in two fixtures. They greet Exeter City who are placed 2nd after two matches.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Carabao Cup. That game was also an away game, at Cheltenham Town. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
