Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bolton will be aiming to stay in the automatic promotion berth when they take on Exeter City in the League One round 37. The Trotters have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Wigan Athletic, beating Cambridge United, while sharing the spoils with Barnsley. Josh Dacres-Cogley limped off with injury in the midweek draw, with Jack Iredale likely to step up. Randell Williams is pushing for a start as well after scoring a late equalizer against the Tykes.
The Grecians, meanwhile, suffered a dip in form. Considering that Exeter have collected only one point in total from the last four league matches, we are tempted to place our bets on the visiting side. To make things even worse for the home side, important defender Pierce Sweeney suffered an injury in a 2-1 loss to Peterborough. Millenic Alli is widely expected to replace him in the starting XI.
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.
