Bitesize Prediction: Bolton vs Fleetwood – 15/08/23

Competition: League One

Market: Bolton win

Odds: 8/15 @ 1xBet

Looking to extend on their rampant start to the season, Bolton will welcome a struggling Fleetwood to Toughsheet Community Stadium on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, laying down a real marker over the weekend as they stormed their way to a stellar 3-0 romp away at Cheltenham, Bolton are enjoying what has been a hugely impressive start to the 2023/24 campaign. With the mood around the Toughsheet Community Stadium at a red-hot high, Ian Evatt’s side have won all of their first three appearances across all competitions and they open the midweek fixtures leading the chase at the top of the League one standings. While the Trotters might have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, the former Barrow boss will be smelling the chance for his high-flying squad to make another third-tier statement. Likewise, signing off their pre-season preparations with an action-packed 4-3 friendly victory against Championship promotion hopefuls West Brom, Bolton have continued to shine with their free-scoring performances in the final third. In fact, Evatt’s men have won each of their opening three domestic showdowns by an aggregate score of 7-0.

As for the visitors, while Bolton might have opened the 2023/24 campaign with a real flurry, Fleetwood find themselves in the midst of a recent struggle. Last seen over the weekend putting in another downbeat display as they suffered a 2-0 loss at home against Cambridge, Scott Brown’s side are still yet to grab a single victory across any competition. Crashing out of the EFL Cup last week as they slumped to an action-packed 3-2 defeat at the hands of Port Vale, the ex-Celtic skipper will be more than aware that his squad faces another heavyweight challenge in midweek. Showing some rather glaring defensive issues and already shipping six goals in their opening three showdowns, Fleetwood should also be worried by a woeful record against Tuesday’s hosts. Losing each of their last three straight League One meetings, a similar home victory can be found at appealing odds here.
