Bolton vs Blackpool Predictions

Bolton Wanderers to boss it at home

Bolton are the best bet to win at home to Blackpool on Saturday. The visitors have lost three of their last four League One away games and can be backed to lose again here.

Third-placed Bolton are 14 places above Blackpool in the table, with the two sides separated by 21 points. Bolton have won 15 of their 33 games this season, while Blackpool have ten wins.

Bolton have been in scoring form, finding the net in eight of their last nine League One games. It’s six matches since they last failed to score.

Bolton have been impressive defensively this season. No other team in League One has conceded fewer goals than the Wanderers’ 31 in 33 games, and at home they have let in just 11 goals in 16 matches – an average of 0.69 goals per game.

The team are in fine fettle, having gone unbeaten in eight League One games and losing just one of their last ten home matches. They have been winners in five of their last seven at home, enjoying three straight successes.

Bolton have been solid favourites lately, winning their last four League One games in which they were odds-on.

Blackpool, meanwhile, are in a rut, having failed to win any of their last four League One away games.

The visitors have had their share of defensive issues this season, with Blackpool failing to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last nine League One games. They have gone four consecutive away games without a clean sheet.

There have been under 2.5 goals in three of Bolton’s last four League One games, and a 2-0 home win looks the best correct-score bet.
