Bolton vs Hull City Predictions

Two out of form sides meet at the Macron Stadium this weekend, as Hull travel to Bolton. The visitors come here with the joint-lowest points tally in the league, while the hosts have been linked with the drop all season. Bolton have had issues all season, and they’ve been linked with the drop even during a strong start. However, things have tailed off for them of late, and they are hoping to step up their form with a victory against the out of sorts visitors in this clash. Do Hull have any chance of turning things around here?

Bolton are just four points above the drop zone, following a four game unbeaten run. They’ve lost three of those games, so they need to turn things around quickly. However, those defeats came against two play-off contenders and a relegated side. It’s not been an easy run for the Trotters, and they will be aiming to take advantage of their clash with Hull this week. Can Phil Parkinson guide his side to a much needed victory?

Hull will be looking to cause a surprise here, and continue Bolton’s rotten run of form. However, the Tigers haven’t really got the form to back that up. They sit in 23rd place as things stand, and this campaign has been really tough for them. Big departures in the summer left them in trouble, and now they’re in danger of slipping into the third tier. As things stand, League One beckons for Hull, as they’re four points shy of Championship safety. However, they can move in on 21st place with a victory here, and pile pressure onto a relegation rival.

Bolton have managed to stay just clear of danger so far, despite their financial issues and limited squad. They’ve picked up points at the right time to just hover above the bottom three, and this game feels like a great chance for them to do the same. Bolton face a Hull side who have failed to win six of their seven away trips this season. Their only win came at newly promoted Rotherham, while the Tigers have lost their last five away games ahead of this meeting with Bolton.

We see the hosts taking this great chance to secure three points, given that Hull are awful on the road. They’ve let in 1.71 goals per game, having scored just 0.71 per trip. That poor run has left them near the bottom in the away table, and it puts Hull on course for a fourth straight loss at Bolton. As a result, we’re going with a home win here, which seems well priced given the Tigers’ problems.
