Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bolton will look to stay in the playoffs berth when they take on Accrington in a postponed League One fixture. The Trotters are eyeing their 14th consecutive win at home ground, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Accy Stanley. Midfielder Josh Sheehan should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring the winner against Shrewsbury, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, are fighting hard to avoid relegation, but given their four-match losing run in the English third tier, Bolton will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Tommy Leigh limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Portsmouth, with Sebastian Quirk likely to step up. In the first half of the season Bolton defeated Accrington 3-2 at the Wham Stadium.
Highlighted Team (Accrington):
Founded back in 1891 and reformed in 1968, Accrington Stanley are an English football club that compete in the League One. The original team competed in the Football League from 1921 to 1962, spending the last four seasons in Lancashire Combination.
The Accy are well known for their red home kit, whilst they wear sky blue shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. The League One side play their home games at Crown Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 5,450 spectators (3,100 seated). Accrington have been playing at Crown Ground since 1970.
Listed as the all-time favourite player amongst fans, Chris Grimshaw is one of the most famous Accrington Stanley footballers. However, George Stewart is the team’s top scorer, netting 136 goals in total from 1954 to 1958. It has to be noted that the Accy have yet to represent England in European competitions.
