Prediction: 2-0
Northampton
Bolton will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town when they take on Northampton Town on Matchday 29. The Trotters want to move closer to the playoffs berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Cobblers. Jay Matete has yet to serve his ban, while both Chris Forino and Kyle Dempsey are out of contention with injuries.
Northampton, on the other hand, aim to escape the danger zone, but they will have a big fish to fry against Bolton, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. In the first half of the season, Bolton defeated Northampton 4-2 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. All Luke Mbete, Patrick Brough, and Ali Koiki miss out with injuries, while Callum Morton is a major doubt. January signing Terry Taylor is likely to keep his place in Northampton’s 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.
