Prediction
Bolton Wanderers and Burton Albion draw a match.
Both sides could put more effort into avoiding loss than attempting to get all three points because of how difficult the top half of the table is. In light of this, don’t be shocked if a scoreless draw occurs in the North-West.
Head to head
- The Dutchman’s comeback can only be viewed as a colossal success, but the former attacker now has to cope with some pressure at the Pirelli Stadium.
- Hasselbaink will be hoping that the Cheltenham match’s second-half equaliser by Lucas Akins would shift the tide back in favour of him and the first-team group.
- However, most of their competitors also experienced ups and downs in August, which could give Hasselbaink some perspective going into this match.
- Coincidentally, Bolton’s lone defeat of the campaign also occurred there; the Trotters lost 1-0 last Saturday.
- Ian Evatt will be optimistic about his team’s chances this season despite suffering a shocking loss because they have already amassed eight points from four games.
- Bolton has recovered from deficits by scoring late goals, but they still only have one clean sheet to their credit.
