Bolton vs Millwall Predictions

It’s been a tough week for Bolton, with huge financial concerns only adding to their poor Championship campaign. Their turmoil very nearly saw this game called off, in the midst of the club’s training ground being closed. The players went unpaid last month, and they’re plummeting towards the drop as things stand. The club are in massive trouble, and it seems like the perfect atmosphere for Millwall to show up and grab the points this weekend.

Bolton have lost their last five of their last six games, which has left them seven points shy of safety and heading for League One. They come into this game without a training ground, so it’s not unfair to suggest that they may be a little undercooked for what should have been a key relegation six-pointer. However, with the hosts in such dire straights, they’re unlikely to escape from this mess. However, the players will be expected to show some fighting spirit this weekend.

Millwall head here as the favourites, despite winning just twice on the road this term. They’ve lost 11 of 17 away games, which has left them just a point clear of the drop zone. They must this game as crucial in their fight for survival, but they hardly have the away record to go backing them to win at around evens. They’ve produced just two wins in their last 19 trips, and they come into this clash looking likely to struggle.

After all, the visitors have conceded in 88% of their games on the road. They have one of the worst defences in the league, having let in 1.7 goals per away game. They make this trip to the Trotters looking short in defence, and we can see the hosts getting a goal in this one. While Bolton don’t have a lot to should about, they’re unbeaten in seven meetings with the bottom six sides, scoring a goal in six of those matches; with four of them finishing 1-1.

Millwall are likely to concede, especially after their thrilling 3-2 win at bottom side Ipswich earlier this season. The hosts have conceded in 83% of their league games, and only one clean sheet in 13 outings in 2019. We see reasons to question the ability of both of these sides, but with so many problems at the back, we think there’s value to be found in going with both teams to score here.
