Prediction: 1-1
Sheffield United
Bolton Wanderers play host to Sheffield United at their Macron Stadium in what is expected to be a very entertaining game. Bolton recorded their third win of the season on Wednesday evening, with the team beating Birmingham City at home and it has to be noted that they are after their third consecutive clean sheet in the Championship. Will Buckley, who came as a substitute and scored the winner against the Blues, is widely expected to return to the starting line-up against Sheffield United. The Blades, on the other hand, aim to extend their winning run in the league to three games, but beating Bolton on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the horizon and we predict that the two teams are going to share the spoils at Macron Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
