Stevenage look to take control of their Blue Square Premier play-off semi final against Cambridge at the Lamex Stadium on Thursday evening.
The quest to reach the Wembley final on May 17, to secure promotion to the Football League, begins with this first leg encounter which is live on Setanta Sports with a 7.30pm kick-off.
Boro manager Graham Westley would have preferred to have had the second leg at home but realises that a dominant performance on home soil can put them in prime position for the return.
There is not too much to choose between these two sides with a 1-1 draw at Cambridge followed by a win for Stevenage in their league skirmishes this season.
Westley cannot call upon the services of winger Mitchell Cole who is suspended, while David Bridges is extremely doubtful with a knee problem and Jon Ashton will need a late fitness test on a shoulder injury.
The well-supported Cambridge team will have plenty of support in the Lamex Stadium as they bid to wipe away the gloom of missing out on automatic promotion.
A goalless draw against Altrincham on the final day of the regular season meant Burton were crowned champions by a two-point margin.
United boss Gary Brabin has two concerns ahead of the first leg with Courtney Pitt’s injury and the ill Andy Parkinson struggling to be fit.
Prediction: 1-1
