We dip into some League One action for Monday night’s football betting tips as Bolton host Burton.

Bolton Preview – Can the Trotters take maximum points?
Bolton suffered their first loss of the new campaign in their last game as they visited Cambridge.
That was a 1-0 loss for the Trotters, which left them on a W2 D2 L1 record for the season.
It does mean that they are undefeated on home soil this season.
It’s been four points collected from their two home games, Bolton scoring at least two goals in each.
In the match outright for football betting, the win for Bolton is at 6/5* (odds recorded 21:31 GMT on 5th September 2021).
Bolton earned automatic promotion from League Two last season.
So they will be relatively happy with their start at a higher grade.
One slight concern for them will be at the back.
Bolton have kept only one clean sheet in their five matches played this season.
Both teams to score looks like a very reasonable option for Monday’s game at a quote of 4/6* (odds recorded 21:31 GMT on 5th September 2021).
Bolton are averaging 2 goals against per home game this season already.
Both of their home matches were also level at the half time break, which may be another football betting trend to consider.
The head to head between Bolton and Burton is very interesting.
The Whites have not managed to win any of their five previous meetings in all competitions.
Their most recent home game ended in a League One defeat in January 2020.
Burton Preview – Can the Brewers continue strong start?
Burton have made a good start to the new campaign as they came racing out of the gates.
The Brewers have won their first three matches of the new season.
Those were each recorded by a one-goal margin which included a win over current leaders Sunderland.
They, like Bolton, have suffered one defeat this season which was also against Cambridge United.
In the match outright, Burton are a quote of 23/10* (odds recorded 21:31 GMT on 5th September 2021).
Away from home, Burton, therefore, are W1 L1.
In last season’s League One campaign, Burton finished in the bottom half of the table.
It was a W8 D8 L7 record that they earned on their travels in the previous campaign.
If we extend away form back to last season, the Brewers are W3 D2 L2 in their last seven league away games.

Burton have scored at least two goals in each of their last three matches against Bolton.
Over 2.5 goals for football betting is a quote of 10/11* (odds recorded 21:31 GMT on 5th September 2021).
All three of the away goals that Burton have conceded this season have gone against them in the second half of matches.
It’s early days of course, but with one point from their last two league games, Burton will be looking for a response.
Bolton vs Burton Betting Advice
This looks like being a tight game, but we are just going to side with the home win happening on Monday.
Burton’s one away win happened against Shrewsbury who are third from the bottom with five defeats in six games.
So that doesn’t prove away form. We think there’s a reasonable chance of the Trotters getting one over on them.
