Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bolton and Oxford United face each other at Toughsheet Community Stadium in the closing match of Tuesday’s clash. The Hatters have been scoring goals for fun of late, with the team netting exactly two goals in each of their last three league matches and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Victor Adeboyejo limped off with injury at the weekend, with Jon Dadi Bodvarsson likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Cheltenham Town, but given their four-game winless run on the road, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. Oxford United midfielder Tyler Goodrham remains in the recovery room, but the 20-year-old should be the only absentee in the visiting team. Earlier this term the two teams played out a boring goalless draw at Kassam Stadium.
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.
