Prediction: 0-1
Bolton
Leyton Orient and Bolton go head to head at Brisbane Road in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. Leyton aim to build on a successful preseason where they defeated the likes of Hearts, Dag & Red, and Tottenham U21, but they will have a mountain to climb in the season opener. Summer recruit Sonny Perkins is widely expected to make his official Leyton debut against Bolton.
The Trotters, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Port Vale. Bolton are determined to secure automatic promotion and seeing that the club chiefs managed to keep hold of key attacker Dion Charles in the summer transfer window, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting side. In their last encounter in League One Leyton defeated Bolton, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
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.
