Sunderland Preview – Another win for the in-form Black Cats?
Sunderland have made a truly terrific start to their 2021-22 season. They have been busy, with Tuesday’s EFL Cup clash with Wigan Athletic being their tenth fixture across all competitions since early August.
Lee Johnson’s side have won eight, drawn one and lost one of their opening ten league and cup matches. In League One, the Black Cats have won five of seven and sit pretty in second spot ahead of this round of games. Johnson’s troops have collected 16 points and are only behind leaders Wigan on goal difference.
Bolton have made a decent start, but Sunderland are the clear favourites in this one. The bookies have the home victory priced at 3/4.
Bolton Wanderers Preview – Can the Trotters leave Wearside with a positive result?
Bolton Wanderers hover just below the play-off positions after a solid start in League One. Overall, Ian Evatt’s boys have won three, drawn three and lost two. They currently sit eighth with 12 points to their name.
Bolton thumped Ipswich Town in their last away match, with goals from Oladapo Afolayan (2), Eoin Doyle, Josh Sheehan and George Johnson helping the Trotters to a 5-2 victory at Portman Road. They also won at Lincoln City earlier in the season. However, Bolton lost their last match, crashing to a 2-0 home reverse to Rotherham United last weekend.
