Bolton Prediction
It’s been an extremely difficult campaign for Bolton Wanderers who have struggled both on and off the pitch in the Championship this season against a backdrop of financial insecurity, while the team currently occupies second from bottom in the English second tier and three points adrift of Rotherham United and safety.
Bolton’s task doesn’t get any easier with the visit of high-flying West Brom on Monday night either despite holding the perceived home advantage at their Macron Stadium. Overall, Bolton have achieved just one league win from their last 17 matches in the Championship which is a woeful record as the hosts seem to be in free-fall mode down to League One.
Within this poor 17-match sequence, Bolton have lost a total of 12 matches and a 13th loss could well be on it’s way after hosting West Brom tonight! Bolton possess a poor home record that stands at 3-3-7 8/16 and have managed just one home win from their last 8 matches.
Key-Facts – Bolton v West Brom
- Bolton have won 1 of their last 17 league matches
- Bolton have lost 12 of their last 17 matches overall in the Championship
- West Brom have won 4 of their last 5 away matches
West Brom Prediction
West Brom sit in 4th place in the Championship and three points behind 3rd placed Sheffield united but all three points here would see The Baggies draw level with the Blades and just three points behind the automatic promotion spots, so plenty of incentive for the visitors here.
By contrast, West Brom have lost just once in their last 11 matches overall which was a 2-1 defeat away at Blackburn Rovers, but 6 wins from these last 11 matches have kept the west midlands club in the frame for at least a play-off spot, if not an automatic promotion place come May.
An away record of 6-3-4 22/17 probably required further attention but the visitors have won four of their last five on their travels with wins at Ipswich Town, Swansea City, Sheffield United and Rotherham United.
The visitors therefore look in reasonably good shape to add to their points tally here this evening.
Betting Tips Verdict
Back West Brom but give the quarter-ball on the asian handicap.
