Doncaster look to bounce back from a heavy 4-2 defeat at Stockport County, but given their dreadful losing run in December, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-1 Bolton win. Manager Grant McCann has a full squad available, which could see some tactical changes to improve their performance. Despite five-game losing streak, the Donny have shown resilience at home, winning 50% of their matches there and averaging 1.60 goals per game, though they concede 2.10 on average, leaving defensive issues.
Bolton have been in a promising form, winning three of their last five league matches. The Trotters have won 60% of home games while averaging 1.60 goals per match and conceding just 1.20. Away form has been solid too, with an average of 1.40 points per game. H2H history heavily favours Bolton, who have won 4 of the last 5 encounters. All five matches saw over 1.5 and 2.5 goals, highlighting an attacking trend. Forward Victor Adeboyejo remains in the recovery room, but should not be sorely missed.
Considering Bolton's superior form and dominant H2H record, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals (100% H2H) and Bolton Over 1.5 goals.
This League 1 match will be played on Thursday 1 January 2026 at 15:00.
