That 100% home win rate against this specific opponent is a massive signal. Even though Notts won the last meeting 2-0, the historical home dominance is strong.

Goal expectancy is 2.70 total goals (1.50 home + 1.20 away). The odds for Over 2.5 Goals are 2.25, but Cambridge's defense is very solid (0.60 conceded). The odds for Home Win are 1.83. Given the H2H dominance and the defensive strength, the Home Win offers value if we trust the historical record over the recent draw-heavy form.
