Command Analysis

Bolton Wanderers

Current form
Bolton approached the start of the season as a clear contender for a playoff spot, but their first round was unimpressive and inconsistent. At the moment, Julian Darby team is only in ninth place in the table with 41 points and is one point behind sixth-placed Barnsley - there is a chance to return to the playoff zone today. In the last round, the Whites beat Huddersfield 1-0 away, managing to defeat a direct competitor away and thus interrupt a series of three matches without a win in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bolton have suffered just one defeat in their last four matches
- Bolton are unbeaten in their last five matches against Northampton - four wins and a draw
Probable line-up: Southwood - Dacres-Cogley, Jones, Forrester, Johnston, Shen - Morley, Lolos, Thomason - Adeboyejo, Collins.

Northampton Town

Current form
Before the start of the season, Northampton were considered one of the main candidates for relegation from the First League, inferior in the selection of players to many competitors. In the first round, the shoemakers failed to jump above their heads, but at the same time, there was no failure - at the moment, Kevin Nolan team occupies 20th place in the table with 27 points, already six points away from the relegation zone. In the last round, Northampton drew away to a goalless draw with Wycombe, sensationally taking points from one of the leaders of the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brog, Koiki, Morton and Mbete are injured.

2.65Tip and bets
Bolton have dropped out of the playoff zone and will certainly strive to return there in the nearest future, the selection of players allows them to fight for promotion in the class. It is obvious that in the home match against one of the main outsiders of the championship the Whites will strive to take the maximum and there is definitely a chance of success - Northampton is significantly inferior in class, the shoemakers are not in the best shape and in the last five matches against Bolton they have scored only one point, it makes sense to count on a confident victory for the favorite.
We think that the visitors have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Bolton . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.09
Bet on total
Bolton are the favourites and will certainly be set up for victory at home. The Whites will most likely go on the attack in force from the first minutes and it is unlikely that Northampton have any real chances to play reliably today. At the same time, the shoemakers are solving their problems in the championship, they will most likely also take risks - in the last four matches they managed to score against Bolton, the visitors are quite capable of extending this series today, the Whites are very vulnerable in defence.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.99
Bet on corners
Bolton are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Bolton. This bet is offered for 1.89
