Prediction: 0-2
Bolton
St James Park will be the centre of attention when Exeter City and Bolton Wanderers lock horns in an eagerly-awaited League One game on Saturday. The Grecians aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Wycombe, but they face yet another difficult task against the Trotters. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, both Kamari Doyle and Demetri Mitchell are in line for a recall to the starting XI.
Bolton, on the other hand, are only five points behind the playoffs berth. The Trotters have been having their ups and downs of late, but seeing that Exeter City generally suit them, away win should be considered. Last season Bolton crushed Exeter 7-0, which surely goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Jordi Osei-Tutu is widely expected to return to Bolton’s starting eleven, with both Randell Williams and John McAtee pushing for recalls as well.
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.
