Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Bolton and Morecambe take on each other at University of Bolton Stadium in what is expected to be a very exciting game. The Trotters aim to build on a 2-0 win over Leyton Orient, but they face a difficult task in Tuesday’s football match. Experienced attacker Eoin Doyle, who found the net at the weekend, is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. The Shrimps, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Stevenage.
Morecambe are eager to cement their place in top seven, but beating Bolton on the road is easier said than done. A close match is on the cards at University of Bolton Stadium, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of Bolton’s previous three home games in the League Two.
