Cambridge United - Peterborough United predictions and free betting tips [24/02/2024]

On 24th February in League 1, the third most powerful division in England, at the "Abbey" stadium, "Peterborough" is going to have a match with "Cambridge United". Let's take a look at the current form of both teams and try to decide on which betting strategy would likely boost our bankroll. Let's get to it.

"Cambridge United"

This is the 3rd season for the team in League 1. Before this, the lads had spent 7 years in League 2. Each year was not very successful for them, but in their 7th season, they managed to do the unthinkable. Cambridge secured 2nd place and assured their promotion. Last year in League 1 they stopped at the 20th position, just avoiding relegation.

At present, they are in the 17th place in the league table. In the 28th tour, they managed to secure an away win against "Shrewsbury Town" with a scoreline of (2:1). Nevertheless, in the next game, they suffered a defeat from "Cheltenham" (0:1). The squad then lost to "Portsmouth" (1:3). The boys then thrashed "Carlisle" on the road (4:0). And in their last match, they were defeated by "Bolton" (1:2)

"Peterborough United"

Last season "Peterborough" displayed good results. As a result of the championship, they took a 6th place on the league table and earned the opportunity to play in the play-offs for promotion to the Championship. In the semi-finals, they played against "Sheffield Wednesday" and won the first match with a scoreline of (4:0), but Sheffield surprised in the return leg, securing a victory with a scoreline of (6:1) in extra time.

In the current season, "Peterborough" continues the fight for promotion to the Championship sitting 6th on the table. In the 28th round, they had a goalless draw with "Lincoln". Then, they were beaten by "Wigan" (2:3). Afterward, they lost to "Exeter" (1:2). The lads then lost their 3rd game in a row to "Wycombe" (2:5). Most recently, the team suffered another defeat from "Blackpool" (1:2).

Head to Head

"Peterborough" and "Cambridge" last locked horns on November 11, 2023. The encounter concluded with a thumping victory for "Boro" (5:0).

Forecast

"Peterborough" is currently performing poorly, suffering 4 consecutive defeats. Now, they need to curtail this losing streak as soon as possible. "Cambridge" has been playing well at home in recent games, but all the teams were towards the bottom of the league table. Considering this, I'll trust in the visitors and will place a wager on their triumph in this clash.

Total Forecast

I think in this confrontation the teams will be able to show a high-scoring football match, therefore, I propose to place a bet on over 2.5.
