Bolton vs Plymouth Argyle Predictions & Tips

Bolton have been a revelation since Ian Evatt freshened up the squad in January. The Trotters have taken 20 points from their last ten matches, a run of form which has coincided with a handful of new recruits arriving in the middle of the January window. Bolton have been rock solid at home all season – they hold the 6^th best home record in the division having taking 35 points from 18 games at the University of Bolton Stadium.

Bolton look a bit short on Saturday for my mind, against a Plymouth side who have won five of their last seven matches, Plymouth also ran out comfortable 3-0 winners in the reverse fixture at Home Park in October. Bolton are playing with the added pressure that a defeat will most likely bring an end to any hopes they have of breaking into the top six this season.

Plymouth attempting to fend off chasing pack

Plymouth have long looked like the weak link in the top six and the team most likely to fall out of the play-off places. Give credit where it is due though, Steven Schumacher’s side keep picking up wins when they need them most. Plymouth have impressed in their last two matches, back-to-back clean sheets in consecutive 2-0 wins against relegation threatened Morecambe and Wimbledon. Plymouth, who currently sit in sixth place just a point ahead of Wycombe, know they must put a string of wins together as they attempt to fend off the chasing pack.

Plymouth head north on Saturday as underdogs but are fancied to go well having lost one of their last five away league games. The Pilgrims have the 4^th best away record in League One this season and probably have a better chance in this one than the bookies would have you suggest. Plymouth to win is the main selection for this game. For the correct score prediction, take a chance on a 2-1 away win.
