Toughsheet Community Stadium will host Bolton and Stoke City in the Championship round nine, with the Trotters aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Cardiff City and Norwich City. Bolton came through a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Canaries last time out and are now looking to move closer to the playoff places. There are no fresh injury worries for the hosts, while Atsuki Ito is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Norwich. Bolton have conceded just 1.00 goal per home game across their last five matches.
Stoke City, on the other hand, have won four of their last five league games, including a 2-1 victory over Sheffield United. The Potters have been particularly dangerous going forward, scoring in every one of their last 10 matches, although their away defence remains vulnerable. Cresswell, Ingelsson and Lawal have all been struggling with injuries of late, which could leave Stoke short of options.
Bolton have been showing signs of improvement up front and with Stoke seeing BTTS land in 70% of their last 10 matches, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Half-Time Draw.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 10 October 2026 at 15:00.
