Bolton vs AFC Wimbledon Predictions & Tips

Bolton’s 3-1 defeat at Burton on Tuesday would have come as a surprise to many. Bolton were bang in form when they headed to the Pirelli stadium but found themselves 3-0 down after 18 minutes and the game was all but over. Bolton had been in cracking form prior to Tuesday’s defeat, they were on a seven-match unbeaten run, winning six of those matches, it’s a run that has given them a sniff of the top six. They are fancied to bounce straight back against a lowly Wimbledon side.

Hapless Wimbledon perilously close to the drop

It is now 13 games without a win for Mark Robinson’s men and Wimbledon fans must now be fearing the worst. Wimbledon are just a point above the drop zone, and with the teams in the bottom four starting to pick up points, it’s a worrying time to be a Wimbledon fan. The new stadium is just over a year old and a return to League Two is a far from ideal start to life at the new Plough Lane.

These two sides have met five times since AFC Wimbledon reformed in 2002. The Wombles have never beaten Bolton, with the record currently four draws and singular Bolton win from the two teams five encounters. It’s virtually impossible to make a case for Wimbledon on Saturday, they don’t score many and their defence is far from watertight. The main selection for this game will be Bolton in the outright market. I think a shade of odds on is a very fair price for a side who lost one of their last eight matches. The correct score prediction in this game will be a 3-0 home win.
