Bolton Wanderers are out to cement their promotion playoff spot when they welcome Northampton to the Toughsheet Community Stadium on matchday 25 of the EFL League One. Here's our match prediction.
Bolton Wanderers have accumulated 38 points from 23 games and are locked on points with fifth-placed Huddersfield. However, they've maintained a one-point cushion over Stevenage in seventh place.
The Trotters' recent league game was against Doncaster away from home. They managed a point in a 1-1 draw. The outcome could have been catastrophic if it weren't for Tyler Miller, who made five crucial saves.
A return to their humble abode should see them restore their confidence. At the Toughsheet Community Stadium, they have lost just one of their last 12 home league games.
Northampton are deep in the relegation discussions this season. After navigating 23 games and accumulating 28 points, they have maintained a one-point cushion over the red dotted line.
The Cobblers' form has been unimpressive thus far. They've won one of their last six matches. Of those outings, they scored in four matches, underlining their ability to find the back of the net.
In their recent league game, they played to a goalless draw against Stockport County. That result extended their winless run to three games. Away from home, their performance has left much to be desired. They've lost three consecutive matches.
