Bolton
Match Time & Date:

13:30
Prediction: 1-0
Blackpool
Bolton will be aiming to make amends for a massive 5-0 loss to Stockport County when they face Blackpool on Matchday 17. The Trotters have been producing fine displays at home of late, beating both Burton and Peterborough in the League One and Fleetwood in the EFL Trophy, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Blackpool. Wales forward Aaron Collins should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a brace in the EFL Trophy triumph, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Meanwhile, the Seasiders are on a seven-game winless run in the English third tier and given their negative record at Toughsheet Community Stadium, we are tempted to place our bets on the home team. Defender Hayden Coulson is widely expected to return to Blackpool’s starting XI after coming as a substitute in a goalless draw with Northampton Town.
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.
