Our prediction for this Championship match:
Reading
Match Time & Date:
18/08/2018
15:00 GMT
Prediction: 1-1
Bolton Wanderers
After dropping a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw with Bristol City, Bolton will be looking to return to winning ways in the Championship when they take on Reading at Madejski Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Trotters made a fine start to the season, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure yet another Championship survival. Summer signing Josh Magennis, who has already started to pay-off, is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition back-line in Saturday’s football match. The Royals aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to the likes of Derby County and Nottingham Forest and they should be happy with one point from the Bolton game. A close encounter is on the cards and we predict the two teams are going to share the spoils on Matchday 3.

Highlighted Player (Sam Baldock):
Sam Baldock is an English footballer who plays as a striker for Brighton. Baldock was born in Buckingham, England on 15 March 1989 and he began his senior career at Milton Keynes Dons. After spending six years at Stadium mk, Baldock signed a four-year contract with West Ham United on 26 August, 2011. However, after failing to impress in the 2011/2012 campaign, he was sold to Bristol City at the end of the season. Sam Baldock scored 34 goals in 83 appearances for the club and in 2014 he joined his current club Brighton. The English attacker signed for the Seagulls for an undisclosed fee, which was believed to be in the region of £2m. Sam Baldock has a contract with Brighton, which expiries on 30 June, 2018. It has to be noted that he represented England at the 2009 FIFA U20 World Cup in Egypt. His main position is centre forward, but he is capable of playing at both left and right back as well.
Highlighted Team (Bolton Wanderers):
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.
