Cambridge United opened the season by scoring 3 goals against Wigan Athletic (League One 15 Aug), but in the next game they faced Bromley and could only manage a 1-1 draw (League One 22 Aug). Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town thrashed AFC Wimbledon 3-0 (League One 15 Aug) and then drew 1-1 away at Milton Keynes Dons (League One 22 Aug) — the most striking numbers are that both teams concede heavily late in games: Cambridge United concede between 76-90 minutes, accounting for 25% of all their goals conceded, while Huddersfield Town concede 29% in the same period. Meanwhile, both teams' attacking output comes between 46-60 minutes (24% and 25% respectively). This suggests the game is likely to open up in the second half, and if the score comes during that period, the chance of a high total goals is significant. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how Cambridge United's defense copes with Huddersfield Town's counter-attacks, as the away team just scored 3 goals in their opening match.
