There will be fireworks when Bolton and Cardiff City lock horns at Toughsheet Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Bolton have been having their ups and downs in the early stages of the season, but a 2-1 win at Huddersfield surely gave them a confidence boost. The Trotters showed character in the John Smith’s Stadium clash, with the team scoring two goals in the stoppage time and they surely want to build on that triumph.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, are leading the chase for automatic promotion with 26 points on their account. Cardiff City, though, were beaten by Bolton in their last meeting at Toughsheet Community Stadium and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. With the Trotters showing signs of improvement in October, there is every chance the visitors will return home empty-handed. Both Adeboyejo and Forrester should miss out with injuries for the home side, while duo King – Tanner is out of contention for the South Wales outfit.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 25 October 2025 at 12:30.
