Our prediction for this League 1 match:
High-flying Bolton will look to extend their winning run in League One to four games when they face Shrewsbury Town at their Toughsheet Community Stadium in the League One round 10. The Trotters look unstoppable at the moment and they must be high on confidence following a thrilling 4-2 win at Northampton. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be important attacker Dion Charles, who returns to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the midweek triumph.
The likes of Gethin Jones, Chris Forino, Will Forrester, and Carlos Mendes Gomes remain on the sidelines with injuries. The Shrews, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing four of their last five league games. As Paul Hurst’s men failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Stockport County, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Carl Winchester is injured for the visiting side, while Joshua Kayode is a major doubt.
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.
