Prediction: 2-0
Cheltenham
High-flying Bolton will be aiming to extend their winning run in League One to five games when they take on Cheltenham Town on Matchday 28. The Trotters look unstoppable at the moment and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. Carlos Mendes Gomes is on international duty with Guinea Bissau, while midfielder Kyle Dempsey is pushing for a start after finding the net in the EFL Trophy win over Accrington.
Darrell Clarke’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Portsmouth, but seeing that they have already suffered eight defeats on the road this term, home win should be considered. Benjamin Williams limped off with injury in the last league match, with Will Ferry likely to replace him in the starting line-up. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be experienced midfielder Liam Sercombe, who scored a brace in the triumph over the Pompey.
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.
