Bolton vs Cardiff Predictions

• Bolton have hit more shots than their opponents in three of their last four games
• Cardiff have conceded 14 goals in eight matches this season
• All of the last four meetings between these teams have gone under 2.5 goals

Trotters can gallop to deserved success

It is four straight Championship defeats for Bolton, who have slipped into the second tier relegation zone.

The Trotters have been beaten by Lincoln, Sheffield United, Millwall and West Ham on their losing run, but Steven Schumacher’s men haven’t had much go their way this season.

The Whites won the shot count 21-8 in a 1-0 Toughsheet Community Stadium loss to Lincoln and a draw was the very least Bolton deserved from that tie.

The Trotters should have led Sheffield United 3-1, before they hit two goals to win 3-2 and again Bolton hit more shots than their opponents.

Schumacher’s side went toe-to-toe with the Championship’s best team in midweek, hitting 13 shots to West Ham’s 11, but Bolton were beaten 3-2 by the Hammers.

The Whites host Cardiff on Saturday, and with a little more good fortune, Bolton can be fancied to beat the Bluebirds.

The Welsh outfit have failed to win any of their last seven matches, and while Cardiff too have been a little unlucky, their best performances have come on home turf.

Brian Barry-Murphy’s men have conceded 14 goals in their eight matches this term and Bolton are fancied to punish Cardiff’s leaky defence.
