Bolton and Bristol City will meet at Toughsheet Community Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday evening. With these sides averaging more than one goal conceded per game this season, our prediction is that we will see the net ripple at both ends.
Bolton’s return to the second division has not gone exactly as they would have hoped so far. They have taken 14 points from their 12 games (W4 D2 L6) and are 18th in the league standings.
The Wanderers suffered a crushing 5-1 defeat to Middlesbrough at this venue last weekend and have now conceded 23 goals to date - the second-most in the division after 12 games.
Bolton have earned just six points from as many home league matches this term (W2 D4), but they are unbeaten in their last five matches against this opponent at this venue.
Meanwhile, after taking 10 points from their first five league games this season, Bristol City have experienced a dip in form, picking up just five points from their last seven league matches.
The Robins played to a goalless draw against Stoke last week and have now failed to score in their last three matches. However, they are still averaging exactly one goal per game this season (12).
Notably, the visitors have been good on the road this season, having only suffered defeat in one of their six outings to date (W2 D3).
