Cambridge United - Bolton Wanderers predictions and free betting tips [20/02/2024]

On 20th February in League 1, England's third-tier division, at "Abbey" stadium, "Bolton" will face off against "Cambridge United". Let's examine the current form of the teams and try to decide what bet would potentially bolster our bankroll. Let’s dive in.

"Cambridge United"

This is the team's 3rd season in League 1. Prior to this, they spent 7 years in League 2. Each year was not very successful for them, but in the last 7th season, they managed to achieve the unthinkable. "Cambridge" landed 2nd place and guaranteed a promotion. Last year in League 1, they narrowly escaped relegation finishing 20th.

Currently, they occupy the 16th place in the league table. In the 27th round, they drew against "Burton" (0:0). They then managed to secure an away victory over "Shrewsbury Town" with a score of (2:1). However, in the next match, they fell to "Cheltenham" (0:1). Following this, the squad was defeated by "Portsmouth" with a score of (1:3). In the latest round, the lads thrashed "Carlisle" on the road (4:0).

"Bolton"

Many will be familiar with this squad from their time in the Premier League. They are now led by Ian Evatt, who took them out of League 2 and they are now in their 3rd season in England's third division. Last year they were close to advancing to the Championship, but "Barnsley" beat them in the play-offs with a score of (1:2).

In the 27th round, they notched a victory over "Carlisle" (4:1). Following this, their winning streak was again interrupted, this time due to a draw with "Barnsley" (1:1). The team then drew with "Northampton" (1:1). In the next round, they beat "Wycombe" at home with a score of (2:1). In their most recent match, the guys played a high-scoring draw with "Charlton" (3:3).

Head to Head

The last encounter between "Bolton" and "Cambridge" was on 10th April 2023. That match ended in a draw (1:1).

Forecast

"Bolton" have been performing excellently this season, yet the hosts do have some chances. "Cambridge" have been doing quite well in recent matches at their stadium, but most opposition teams have been from the lower half of the league table. I think I'll back the visitors for a win in this confrontation.

Total Forecast

I believe in this clash the teams could play high-scoring football, hence I propose to bet on over 2.5 goals.
