Prediction: 2-0
Southend
All eyes will be on University of Bolton Stadium when Bolton and Southend face each other in the League Two round 15. The Trotters made a slow start to the season, but they have been in a splendid form of late. Bolton are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in all competitions, and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping rapidly. Alex Baptiste is fully fit, meaning that Bolton boss Ian Evatt has a full squad to choose from ahead of the visit of Southend.
The Seasiders are stuck at the bottom of the standings, with the team collecting only five points in total from possible 39. The rock-bottom side do not seem to be competitive at this level, and given Bolton’s current form, we are positive that the visitors will return home empty-handed from the trip to Horwich.
