Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Sunday’s football game between Bolton and Wrexham will bring down the curtain on the League One round 2. The Trotters defeated Leyton Orient 2-1 in their opener, while surviving Mansfield in the EFL Cup round 1 and, no doubt, they are high on confidence ahead of the visit of Wrexham. Influential attacker Dion Charles returns to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the midweek triumph, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home side.
The newcomers, on the other hand, did well to beat Wycombe on their League One debut, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Bolton. Even though Wrexham are seen as one of the teams to beat in the 2024/2025 League One season, we are tempted to place our bets on Bolton, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Wrexham forward Jack Marriott should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the EFL Cup defeat.
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.
