Prediction: 2-0
Cheltenham
Bolton will look to recover from a 1-0 loss to Leyton Orient when they take on Cheltenham town in the League One round 28. The Trotters are eyeing their tenth home win of the process and the bookies see them as favourites to win the midweek clash. Both Gethin Jones and Carlos Mendes Gomes are on international duty, while Will Forrester remains on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.
The Robins, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Portsmouth, but given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered. Cheltenham have already suffered eight defeats on the road this term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Bolton’s party at Toughsheet Community Stadium. Benjamin Williams limped off with injury in the last league match, with Will Ferry likely to step up.
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.
