Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Cambridge United will look to get their revenge on Bolton for a 2-1 loss at Abbey Stadium when the two teams face each other in the League One round 36. The U’s suffered two defeats more after the Bolton loss, meaning that they are low on confidence ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, defender Liam Bennett should sneak into the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 1-0 loss to Stevenage.
The Trotters, on the other hand, aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth. Bolton have already recorded eleven wins at home this term and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason to celebrate this weekend. As for the home side, Carlos Mendes limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Wigan, with Aaron Collins likely to replace him in the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (Bolton):
Bolton Wanderers were formed as Christ Church Football Club back in 1874 and three years later they adopted their current name. The Trotters currently compete in the Championship and they play their home games at Macron Stadium, which was opened in 1997.
Speaking of the club’s trophies, Bolton Wanderers won the FA Cup on four occasions (1923, 1926, 1929 and 1958), but they have yet to win the Premier League title. The Trotters were producing splendid displays in the 2003/2004 Premier League campaign, with the team finishing the season in eighth position in the standings, which is regarded as the club’s best result in the English top flight.
Bolton did well to reach the UEFA Cup knockout stages in the 2007/2008 season; the English outfit eliminated Atletico Madrid in the two-legged tie, but Sporting Lisbon eventually proved to be a big catch for the Trotters.
Nigeria international Jay-Jay Okocha is one of the most notable footballers who played for Bolton and he scored 14 goals in 124 appearances in the league for the club. Bury are considered the club’s fiercest rivals.
