Wycombe Wanderers vs Cambridge United Predictions

• Wycombe have gone five games unbeaten in League One, and lost just two of their last 14 outings.
• Cambridge have lost five of their last seven league games.
• Wycombe’s last four games have all seen over 2.5 goals scored, as have five of Cambridge’s last seven.

Chairboys have made their home a fortress

Wycombe Wanderers have won eight of their 11 league games at Adams Park this season, and are strong contenders for a return to the Championship after losing just two of their last 14 league games, and none of their most recent five.

On Boxing Day, they host Cambridge, who have lost five of their last seven, although an incredibly tough fixture list certainly played its part. The U’s faced five of the division’s last nine in that run, and played their part in some entertaining clashes, with five of those seven featuring over 2.5 goals.

Indeed, Mark Bonner’s team have scored 17 goals in 11 away matches this term, more than all but three teams in the division. Wycombe, meanwhile, have shipped 14 goals in 11 home matches, despite their strong record at Adams Park.

Wycombe should have too much, but goals should flow

Wycombe’s only home defeats of the campaign came to play-off chasers Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth, both of whom are on long unbeaten runs.

Gareth Ainsworth’s team should have enough to earn another home win on boxing day, but for those looking for greater value, putting over 2.5 match goals into the mix could be a smart play.

Over 2.5 match goals have been scored in each of Wycombe’s last four games, and the hosts have conceded in five of their last six home matches. For that reason, a 2-1 Wycombe victory could be a decent correct score prediction.
