Bolton host Burton in this crucial Championship clash as they look to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive. As Bolton want this win more than Burton, 2-0 is our predicted outcome. The Trotters head into Tuesday's game on the back of a 2-1 win over Leyton, having won 40% of their home matches this season. Steven Schumacher's men average 0.8 goals per game at home while conceding 0.8, with expected goals (xG) at 1.95 suggesting they are creating decent chances. BTTS has occurred in 40% of home fixtures, and Bolton have kept clean sheets in 20% of home games.
Burton, sitting just above the relegation zone, are struggling for consistency. The Brewers have won 33% of their away games and conceded 1.67 goals per match on the road. Their attack averages 1.83 away goals, with BTTS in 50% of away matches. Historical head-to-head stats favor Burton slightly, with 6 wins in 14 meetings. Both Jones and Webster injured for Burton, who suffered a 2-1 loss to Lincoln at the weekend.
Given aforementioned statistical data, our prediction firmly points toward Home Win, with additional value on Under 2.5 goals and Bolton to Score First.
This League 1 match will be played on Tuesday 27 January 2026 at 19:45.
