What Jon Brady said: “Cambridge went up a couple of years before us and they've done very well to sustain their League One status. Mark (Bonner) has done a fantastic job. They have a very experienced back-line and they've picked up some good results against top sides this season. They don't concede many and they're hard to break down and I don't expect it to be any different this weekend.”

Prediction: Northampton Town 1 Cambridge United 0
