Bolton Wanderers

WLWWWW 📈

Bolton Wanderers, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 2-6 EFL Trophy success against Oldham Athletic.

For Bolton Wanderers, the scorers were Jordi Osei-Tutu (44'), John McAtee (48'), Marcus Forss (63', 65') and Sam Dalby (83'). Kane Drummond (78') and Kieron Morris (88') scored for Oldham Athletic.

Bradford City

WDDDLL

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Doncaster Rovers in EFL Trophy competition, Bradford City and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

The only name on the scoresheet from Bradford City was Tyreik Wright (39'). Jordan Gibson (64', 78') and Brandon Hanlan (70') scored for Doncaster Rovers.

Bradford City have been a threat going forward in their most recent fixtures, scoring 10 goals in their last 6 matches. Having said that, Bradford City can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same games.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head duels dating back to 24/09/2016, there has been little to separate the clubs with Bolton Wanderers winning 1 of those games, Bradford City 1 and 4 being drawn in regulation time.

An aggregate of 12 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 6 from The Trotters and 6 created by The Bantams. That’s an average goals per game of 2.

The last league match between the two was League Two match day 34 on 06/03/2021 when the final score was Bradford City 1-1 Bolton Wanderers.

The match was refereed by Leigh Doughty.

📰 Team News: Bolton Wanderers

In all likelihood, The Trotters may well go for a 4-2-3-1 system for the game featuring Bart Verbruggen, Mats Wieffer, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Ferdi Kadioglu, Carlos Baleba, Yasin Ayari, Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter, Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck.

📰 Team News: Bradford City

Bradford City boss Graham Alexander has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Calum Kavanagh (Shin injury) and Ciaran Kelly (Ankle injury) are not able to play.

From our viewpoint, The Bantams appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Caoimhin Kelleher, Michael Kayode, Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg, Aaron Hickey, Yehor Yarmoliuk, Jordan Henderson, Dango Ouattara, Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago.

💡 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Bolton Wanderers will most probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

At the other end, Bradford City could well struggle to get shooting opportunities although we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet here.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 3-1 winning score for Bolton Wanderers when all’s said and done.
