Stevenage vs Bolton Prediction and Betting Tips 20 January 2026

Stevenage face Bolton in a postponed League One clash, looking to bounce back after a heavy 3-0 defeat at Exeter. Given Stevenage's poor form in the English third tier, we predict a 2-1 away win. Boro boss Alex Revell has a full squad at his disposal but is expected to shuffle the pack. Stevenage’s overall form has been poor (DLDLL), with just 0.70 points per game, failing to win at home in recent matches (0.50 PPG) and scoring less than one goal per game (0.90 overall). Their defensive record has been shaky, conceding 1.50 goals per home match, though their BTTS rate at home is high (75%), hinting at an attacking threat despite results.

Bolton, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a 1-0 triumph over Wigan. The Trotters maintain 1.40 points per game both home and away, scoring 0.90 goals per match overall and keeping 30% clean sheets. H2H history favors Bolton, with 4 wins in 6 encounters and BTTS in 67% of clashes, suggesting Stevenage can find the net. The fact that there are no fresh injury worries in the away team definitely supports our betting angle.

Considering Bolton's superior H2H record and more consistent form, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win, alongside BTTS (Stevenage home BTTS 75%, Bolton overall 50%) and Bolton Over 1.5 goals.

This League 1 match will be played on Tuesday 20 January 2026 at 19:45.
