Chesterfield vs Bolton Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Bolton continued their hugely impressive form on Monday night as they cruised to a 4-0 victory over Gillingham and, as they travel to face lowly Chesterfield here, League One’s 2^nd place team are presented with another good opportunity to gain three points.

Chesterfield’s form of late has threatened to pick up in stages, but they were brought back down to earth (once again) when they conceded five at Peterborough last time out and, considering Bolton’s form right now, they could easily struggle once again. At odds of 5/6, ‘Bolton to Score Over 1.5 Goals’ is a bet that is too good to miss.

The visitors have been in excellent form of late and have now won each of their last five fixtures (all-competitions). In that time, they’ve scored 11 goals, scoring two or more on three occasions. On top of this, they’ve scored two or more goals in four of their away matches this season. While this might not seem a lot, when we consider the hosts defensive record this season it’s easy to see that this Bolton side, who’re full of confidence right now, scoring a few goals here.

The hosts have conceded no less than 19 goals at home this season, letting in at least two on four occasions. They’ve kept just one clean sheet and have looked very weak in doing so. They recently played two of the sides who’re up with Bolton in the table and conceded seven goals, losing 1-4 and 0-3 – a similar score-line to the visitors here would hardly be a surprise.
