Leeds vs Bolton Predictions

Leeds are back in action this weekend, after falling out of the top two in the Championship. They’ve had a 10-day break since beating Swansea 2-1. They saw themselves fall away from Norwich – the current leaders – after the Canaries crushed Bolton 4-0 in their clash last weekend. However, the Trotters are up against another top side this weekend, with Bolton hoping to press their push for survival in this clash at Elland Road on Saturday. Can the visitors cause a huge shock with three points here?

Leeds have won their last six matches against Bolton in all competitions and have beaten the Trotters twice already this season (in the league and League Cup). We see them completing a treble over the Trotters this weekend, as they look to bounce back into the top two. They have to be pushing for second at a minimum here, while they’ve spent enough time on top to be desperate to win the title and go up as champions. There were clear signs of the Elland Road side getting their season back on track in their latest win, so they should be good for a result here.

The visitors have lost three of their last four matches, and they have serious concerns about going down to League One. They’ve fallen three points shy of safety, and even that gap looks to be too much for the Trotters to turn around. They come into this game with nine defeats on the road in 16 matches, and they’ve averaged just 0.81 points per game in that time. They are struggling to match most sides on the road, never mind a team with a home record like Leeds.

The hosts have been priced up as heavy favourites, after winning 10 of their 16 home games this season. They come into this one with only one side ahead of them in the home table – Norwich, three points ahead having played a game more. The hosts are in a great position to secure another three points and chase down the Canaries, who have a significantly tougher game against Bristol City.

Leeds are heavy favourites for the win, and we see them living up to that with a straightforward win. They aren’t likely to repeat Norwich’s thumping of the Trotters, with just 15% of Bolton’s games seeing over 3.5 goals scored. Leeds have seen fewer than four goals in 81% of their home games, while the visitors have failed to score in 50% of their trips. Leeds are yet to score more than three times at home this term, so we’re going with a home win and under 3.5 goals.
