Bitesize Prediction: Bolton vs Wrexham – 18/08/24

Competition: League One

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/6 @ 1xBet

In what could prove to be an enjoyable League One showdown on Sunday afternoon, Bolton will welcome Wrexham to the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Starting with the hosts, while Bolton might have suffered major play-off final heartbreak at Wembley back on May 18th as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Oxford United in north London, the Trotters haven’t shown any signs of a hangover since opening up the 2024/25 campaign. Getting proceedings underway last weekend as they secured a 2-1 victory away at Leyton Orient, Ian Evatt’s men will be looking to make another statement here. Extending on their EFL Cup adventure earlier in the week as they snatched a penalties victory against Mansfield, the former Barrow boss will now be calling on his squad to find some much-welcomed defensive resolve. Signing off last season with an action-packed 3-3 stalemate against Peterborough, Bolton have recorded just a single clean sheet from any of their previous nine appearances against League One opposition. It should also be noted, the Trotters have recorded just a sole clean sheet at the Toughsheet Community Stadium since back on March 12th.

As for the visitors, storming their way to what was a sensational League One return, Wrexham are in the midst of what has become a public fairytale. Marking their third-tier return with an action-packed 3-2 victory at home against Wycombe, the Red Dragons are riding a stunning wave of momentum. With some around the Racecourse Ground dreaming of the chance to mount another genuine promotion charge this time around, Phil Parkinson’s men will be looking to make an immediate return to winning ways on Sunday afternoon. Watching their EFL Cup adventure come to an abrupt end earlier in the week as they suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Championship outfit Sheffield United, Wrexham will still be excited by their clinical performances in the final third. In fact, continuing on from last season, Parkinson’s side have registered at least a pair of goals in nine of their previous 10 competitive appearance across all competitions.
