Prediction: 2-1
Wigan
In red-hot form, Bolton will look to keep their 100% record intact when they take on Wigan Athletic in yet another home fixture. The Trotters cruised past Fleetwood at home ground on Tuesday evening, with Victor Adeboyejo scoring a hat-trick and we are positive that the Nigeria forward will prove a handful for Wigan defenders as well. Even though important forward Dion Charles is banned for Saturday’s clash, home win should be considered as Bolton have been clinical in front of goal of late.
The Latics, on the other hand, are eyeing their third win of the process, but the Trotters will pose a much bigger threat for the visiting side than their previous rivals. The opposition back-line should have experienced forward Charlie Wyke at bay as the 30-year-old has already netted three goals in the 2023/2024 Championship campaign. There are no fresh selection worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jason Kerr):
Jason Kerr is a professional footballer who plays for St Johnstone as a defender. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on February 6, 1997, Jason Kerr is a product of the St Johnstone football academy. He started his senior career in 2014, and after ending his loan spells with East Fife and Queen of the South, he returned to the McDiarmid Park outfit in 2018.
He made his debut with the Saints in the Scottish Cup game against Albion Rovers on January 29, 2019. Jason Kerr has six caps with the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the senior team.
He scored his first goal for St Johnstone in a 4-1 defeat to Rangers on February 27, 2018. His primary position on the field is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing good displays as a central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 15 shirt at St Johnstone.
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.
