We said: Cambridge United 1-2 Oxford United

 With Cambridge losing 10 players, there has been significant turnover within the squad, so it could take a few weeks for Bonner's side to gel. Oxford look good enough, on paper, to put up a promotion challenge this season, so we think they will start off strongly here with a victory. Read more.
