Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Cambridge United will look to get back on course in League One when they host Bolton Wanderers at the Abbey Stadium on Tuesday. Garry Monk’s side made a slow start to the season, but quickly turned their fortunes around with a five-match winning streak. However, the U’s have since stumbled again, failing to win any of their last three games, including a humiliating 6-1 loss to Peterborough. Despite an improved home record, Cambridge remain in the relegation zone, four points behind the safe zone.
Bolton, meanwhile, are seen as one of the main candidates for automatic promotion to the Championship. Ian Evatt’s men have won four of their last six league matches, bouncing back impressively from a heavy defeat to Stockport. Fresh off a 2-1 victory over Blackpool, the Trotters are eager to put an end to their two-match away losing streak and climb to the playoffs berth. With Bolton’s momentum and Cambridge’s ups and downs, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in the midweek clash.
Highlighted Team (Cambridge United):
Cambridge United are an English football club that compete in League Two. The U’s play their home games at Abbey Stadium, the venue which was built back in 1923. Owned by Grosvenor Estates, Cambridge United’s home ground can hold up to 8,127 spectators.
The U’s wear amber and black jerseys and black shorts when playing in front of home fans, while white and blue are the dominant colours of their away kit. Cambridge United won the FA Trophy in 2014, with the team making it to the FA Cup quarter-finals two times (1989/90, 1990/91). In the 1968-69 season, the U’s clinched the Southern League Cup title.
Cambridge United recorded their biggest league win in March 2007 as they outclassed Weymouth 7-0, and they repeated the success against Forest Green (2009) and Morecambe (2016). Peterborough United are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but they maintain rivalries with Northampton Town, Colchester United, Luton Town, Stevenage, and Histon as well.
