Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bolton will try to recover from a 2-1 loss to Barnsley when they face Lincoln in the League One round 23. The Trotters are now on a three-game winless run in the League One, but Sunday’s clash could be the turning point for Ian Evatt’s troops. The 43-year-old tactician has no fresh injury worries, but defender Josh Dacres-Cogley should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Imps, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Shrewsbury, but given their ups and downs on the road, we believe that the time has come for Bolton to return to winning ways in the English third tier. Both Bayliss and Moylan are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench in Lincoln’s Boxing Day defeat. In their last meeting at the venue Bolton defeated Lincoln 3-0, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
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.
