Bolton will be out to better their season when they play host to West Ham United next in the Championship. The two sides are having contrasting campaigns, with Bolton currently 21st and West Ham eighth. Newly promoted Bolton have found it tough in the Championship, and our prediction is for a home loss.
Bolton have slumped since winning their league opener 2-1 against Preston. Before that, they had suffered a 1-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup.
They are still seeking a second win; their 0-0 draw with QPR was followed by three straight defeats. The latest of them was the biggest, a 4-0 fall at Millwall on Saturday.
It will take a lot to post the needed recovery against one of the league’s form teams.
The last time these sides faced off in a league setting was in the Premier League, back in 2011. They did meet once in 2017 in the League Cup.
That was their last meeting, and they will be battling again this week, each seeking to move closer to their season’s ambitions. West Ham have had two solid wins ahead this game and will arrive for the encounter high in confidence.
In the first, they thrashed Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-2, and most recently, they claimed a 3-0 victory against Derby County. In their last four games, West Ham scored three or more goals three times.
