Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bolton will look to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Birmingham City when they take on Peterborough United on Matchday 14. The Hatters defeated Burton 2-1 in their last home game and they are surely capable of beating the Posh at their Toughsheet Community Stadium. Both George Thomason and Carlos Mendes Gomes miss out with injuries, while Gethin Jones and Jordi Osei-Tutu remain doubtful.
The Posh, on the other hand, rolled over Blackpool 5-1 in their last league match. As Peterborough are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach this weekend, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. All Jadel Katongo, Chris Conn-Clarke, Hector Kyprianou, Rio Adebisi, and Mahamadou Susoh are sidelined with injuries, while Emmanuel Fernandez is pushing for a recall to the starting XI. In their last meeting in the English third tier the two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw.
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.
