Bolton aim to return to winning ways following a goalless draw with Northampton, but beating Peterborough on the road is easier said than done. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. The Posh look to respond after a damaging 5–2 defeat to Lincoln, a result that exposed defensive issues already impacted by the absences of Adebisi and Hughes. Still, their overall numbers remain competitive: 1.60 PPG, 50% win rate, and a strong 1.71 expected goals underline a side that usually creates enough chances to trouble opponents. At home, Posh average 1.75 PPG and concede just 0.75 goals, suggesting their recent collapse was more of an outlier than a trend.
Bolton, meanwhile head into Saturday's game in a better shape, following a goalless draw with Northampton and no new injury worries. Their form is mixed, but they remain difficult to beat, taking 1.50 PPG overall and producing reliable underlying metrics (1.78 xG / 1.19 xGA). Wanderers’ away numbers are weaker, however, with just 1.00 PPG and 1.60 goals conceded per match on the road. They also fail to score in 20% of away games, hinting at vulnerability when travelling.
Historically, Bolton hold the H2H advantage (6–3–3), but Peterborough’s home edge should balance the contest. Considering consistent BTTS rates for both sides, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Bolton or Draw and Half-Time Draw.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 15:00.
