Crewe vs Bolton Predictions

• No team in League One has conceded more home goals than Crewe this season
• Crewe have lost 11 of their last 12 matches
• Bolton won the reverse fixture 2-0 in November

Crewe down and out

Crewe look resigned to the drop and a return to English football’s fourth tier. No team has conceded more goals in League One than Crewe this season and David Artell’s side are currently rock bottom of the League One table, eight points from safety. Crewe have lost 11 of their last 12 matches and they haven’t beaten any of League One’s current top 12 sides this season. They welcome 11^th placed Bolton to the Mornflake Stadium on Saturday who are much improved since the January window.

Bolton much brighter since January

Ian Evatt utilised the January window to great effect. Bolton have lost just three of their last 14 matches, a run of form which coincided with the arrival of a handful of now key members of the Bolton squad in the middle of January. This return to form however has probably come too late for Bolton to break into the top six – The Trotters are now 11 points off sixth placed Sunderland. Bolton travel to basement side Crewe on Saturday it what is really a free hit, I expect a rampant Bolton performance with no pressure on Ian Evatt’s side.

Bolton are expected to hand Crewe their 12^th defeat in 13 matches on Saturday in what should be a comfortable away victory. I suggest backing Bolton on the -1 handicap and that will be the main selection for this game. In the correct score market, I suggest chancing a 3-1 away win.
