The international break means a much-reduced EFL schedule this weekend and one of just four League One games sees two teams who have had a strong start to the campaign face off as Cambridge United host AFC Wimbledon.
The pair are fifth and seventh respectively in the third tier and will be hoping to make hay while their opponents are enjoying the break.

Cambridge United v AFC Wimbledon Prediction
Best Bet: Cambridge United to win @ 5/6
Wimbledon have had a solid start to the season but their away form has left a fair bit to be desired and could be their undoing once more when they visit Cambridge on Saturday.
Just a point separates this pair in a congested top seven of League One but the U’s are fancied to extend that buffer with a victory.
The Dons may have taken seven points from their last three games but they have failed to win four of their five road trips this term, losing three in normal time and falling to an EFL Trophy penalty shootout defeat to Leyton Orient in the other.
Cambridge are fresh from a thumping 4-1 win over Gillingham in the same competition and are now five games without defeat.
They have beaten Reading, Wigan Athletic and Barnet at the Abbey Stadium this season and look set to add to that tally.
Goals have been a big issue for Wimbledon this term - they have only scored five in seven league games - and that could be their undoing once more in this battle. Side with the hosts to come out on top.
Alternative Bet: Gassan Ahadme to score at any time @ 15/8
Gassan Ahadme has had a nomadic career recently but his best campaign came at Cambridge a few seasons ago and he has returned to the scene of his former glories this term.
The 26-year-old scored 11 goals in 22 starts for the U’s back in 2023/24 and after bouncing around at Charlton Athletic and Stevenage, he has settled straight back into life at Cambridge.
Ahadme has already scored twice in four league starts for his side this term and looks a solid pick to get on the scoresheet again in this clash.
Cambridge United v AFC Wimbledon Bet Builder Tip
Over 2 goals
Both teams to score
Jayden Stockley to score at any time
Pays 21/4
Cambridge and Wimbledon have had contrasting styles this season but it seems that the U’s could drag their visitors into a high-scoring clash in this game.
Three or more goals have been a feature in five of the last six games that Neil Harris’ men have played and a repeat looks likely.
Both teams have scored in nine of Cambridge’s 10 games this term and even goalshy Wimbledon could get in on the action in this one.
If they do, it’s likely that Jayden Stockley will be the man to net. The veteran has two in his last four games and could add to that tally.
