Bolton
Bristol Rovers aim to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Leyton Orient as they host Bolton Wanderers at the Memorial Stadium. The Pirates struggled defensively in that game, and manager Matt Taylor may consider changes, with both George Forbes and James Senior pushing for recalls to the starting XI. Even though the home side have no fresh injury concerns, we are not tempted to back them this time out.
Bolton Wanderers, on the other hand, head into this clash full of confidence after a spirited 2-1 comeback win over Mansfield Town. Dion Charles, who made an immediate impact off the bench by scoring in that match, is set to return to the starting XI, further strengthening The Trotters’ attacking options. With a well-drilled squad and a balanced approach, Bolton appear to have the edge in this encounter. Given Bristol Rovers’ shaky defence and Bolton’s fine form, away win should definitely be considered.
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.
