Prediction: 2-1
Harrogate
A spot in the FA Cup last 64 will be at stake when Bolton and Harrogate go head to head at Toughsheet Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Trotters head into the match following a slim goalless draw with Oxford United, but keep in mind that they hammered Exeter 7-0 in their last home fixture in the League One. All Bodvarsson, Dempsey, and N’Lundulu are pushing for a start as head coach Ian Evatt should opt to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with the Yellows on Tuesday evening.
The Sulphurities set up a meeting with Bolton by rolling over lower-league side Marine in their last league match, but seeing that the Trotters are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of claiming a major scalp in the FA Cup round 2.
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.
