Prediction: 3-1
Burton
In-form Bolton will look to move closer to the playoffs berth wnen they face Burton Albion at their Toughsheet Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Trotters have been producing fine displays of late, winning three of their last four league matches and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to pick up all three points from the Burton game. Head coach Ian Evatt will have to watch the game from the stands following his sending-off in a 2-2 draw with Shrewsbury, but the 42-year-old tactician has no fresh injury worries.
The Brewers, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only four points on their account. Burton Albion have yet to record a win in the new League One campaign and given their four-game losing run, anything but a routine home triumph would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the away team, Guyana international Terence Vancooten is banned for the match.
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.
