Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bolton
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 1-1
Cheltenham
Bolton will be aiming to build on a 3-0 win over Doncaster when they host Cheltenham to their University of Bolton Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Trotters have been impressive at home ground of late, and is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to beat the Robins on home soil. Keep in mind, though, that midfielder Lloyd Isgrove limped off with injury in the triumph over Doncaster.
Cheltenham Town, on the other hand, have been in a fine form in November, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive league win. However, beating Bolton on the road is easier said than done, and that is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on draw. In their last meeting in the League One the two teams played out a 1-1 draw, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
