Bolton Wanderers face a crucial test in their playoff chase as they take on League One runaway leaders Birmingham City at the Toughsheet Community Stadium in matchday 35. This match on Tuesday comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals between the seventh-placed Wanderers and the Blues.
Bolton's 54 points from 33 matches place them two points outside the top six, while Birmingham have 76 points from 32 matches and are 12 points ahead with a game in hand.
A 0-0 draw away at Wrexham saw Bolton's three-game winning streak end at the weekend. Their recent record still is very impressive, with five wins from their last seven league games carrying their push for a playoff spot.
Their home form seems to have taken a turn for the good as three wins on the trot in the league give them confidence. That would be needed to dent Birmingham's confident run of 18 unbeaten games (W14, D4) after a 1-0 win at home against Wycombe.
That result is a big boost to their already strong title credentials and almost hands them the advantage. Away form still needs a bit of push, as the Blues were held to a draw in three of their last five league trips.

Our Bolton vs Birmingham Prediction
Birmingham City continue to march toward the League One title, with their win over Wycombe last weekend further solidifying their dominance. Their defensive solidity has been a key factor all season, and having already beaten Bolton 2-0 in the reverse fixture, they'll be confident of another strong result. Bolton, however, are fighting to break into the top six, and their impressive home form (three straight league wins) gives them hope. Breaking down Birmingham's rock-solid defense won't be easy, and that's why our Bolton vs Birmingham prediction is under 2.5 goals.
