Bolton v Blackburn Betting Tips – Championship, 6th October 5.30pm

This should be a tight old scrap in the Championship on Saturday evening as these two are sat level on points in the bottom half of the table. They have posted similar form over their last few games and both will be looking for a boost after losing in midweek. The recent history of these has produced low-scoring games. Are we set for another? Read our predictions for Bolton v Blackburn.

Bolton News and Form

Bolton have really struggled to nail down strong consistent form lately. They have collected just the one victory in their last seven Championship games now. That lone win though was a good one as they beat Derby last weekend. In midweek they went out to visit Stoke and left empty-handed in a 2-0 loss.

That was their third loss in five games. The Trotters are W2 D1 L2 at home this season and both victories there were 1-0 efforts. But we are considering the draw in Bolton v Blackburn predictions. The 1-1 correct score option is at 5/1 odds* (betting odds taken on October 4th, 2018 at 5:28 pm). All but one of their home goals this season have been in the second half of fixtures.

Blackburn News and Form

Rovers have been struggling for wins as well because they have collected just one in their last six. That’s a W1 D3 L2 record in that sequence. They are pretty unsteady in defence because Blackburn have shipped at least two goals in each of their last three games now and that had happened in six of their eleven league outings this term. So Bolton are likely to get chances against them on the back of that.

Their away form is W2 D2 L1 this season which isn’t all that bad really and they have scored in four of their five road fixtures. Both teams to score is just worth a flutter at even money we feel* (betting odds taken on October 4th, 2018 at 5:21 pm). Rovers have not been trailing at half time in any away game this season. Six of the seven away goals they have netted have been in the first half of their away games.

Bolton v Blackburn Head to Head

This will be the first meeting between Bolton and Rovers since the 2015/16 Championship season when Bolton took four points. In the last three meetings, there have been just the two goals scored in total, both 1-0 home wins (one each). Blackburn are on a three-match unbeaten streak (W2 D1) against the Trotters. From the eight previous Championship meetings, Bolton are W5D1 L2 against Blackburn.
