There's a massive promotion six-pointer in League One this weekend as the Imps of Lincoln City welcome Bolton Wanderers to the east coast. The visiting Trotters have become the main challengers to the two teams occupying the promotion slots, making this match a huge match and a tricky one for a prediction.
The current L1 table makes good reading for both these teams. Lincoln are second in the table with 61 points from 30 games, two behind Cardiff City who top the table. Bolton sit next in third spot, but have played one game more, 31, and have amassed 55 points from those games.
Both teams are in fabulous league form at present. Lincoln are unbeaten in their last 13 league games, winning all their last four. That run includes two home wins, 2-1 against Burton Albion and 3-0 against Bradford City and then two wins on the road, 1-0 away to Wigan Athletic and then last weekend's 4-1 hammering of Plymouth Argyle.
Bolton have lost just one of their last nine league games and they too have won all of their last four. That run began with two 2-1 home victories over Leyton Orient and Burton Albion, which was then followed by an impressive 1-0 win away to AFC Wimbledon. Last weekend, they earned a 3-2 win at home to Barnsley.

Our Lincoln City vs Bolton Prediction
Our prediction for the Lincoln City vs. Bolton Wanderers League One match is: BTTS.
This is a very tricky fixture to pick a winner from, or even to go for the draw. Lincoln's form is excellent, especially at home, but Bolton have emerged as a genuine challenger to the top two and they know how important a win here will be if they want to earn a direct promotion spot and avoid the playoffs. Goals are on the cards however from the data for both teams, making BTTS the best bet to make.
