The League One Showdown of Titans
Key Stats
– Wigan have shown resilience, almost negating their eight-point deduction in just three fixtures.
– Victor Adeboyejo leads Bolton’s charge with four goals and a BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.80.
Bolton Wanderers are proving themselves to be one of the teams to watch this season. Riding high on a four-game winning streak across all competitions, they seem relentless. However, every champion team has its own set of challenges, and for Bolton, the next challenge is Wigan.
Although Wigan have only seven points to their name and sit at the bottom of the League One table due to an eight-point deduction, their potential cannot be underestimated. They’ve already managed to almost negate this deduction after just three games. This alone shows their determination and resilience.
Recent Team Performances
Bolton’s Dominance:
Bolton Wanderers, under the guidance of Ian Evatt, narrowly missed out on promotion last season through the play-offs. This season, they seem hungrier than ever. Their recent victories are a testament to their aspirations for the season. Having netted 10 goals and let in only one in return, their attacking prowess and defensive solidity are commendable.

Wigan’s Recovery:
The Latics, having been relegated, aim to bounce back stronger. They’ve showcased their offensive capabilities but remain vulnerable at the back, having not kept a clean sheet so far. Their recent 1-1 draw against Carlisle further exposed their defensive lapses.
Key Players and Stats
Bolton’s Standout Players:
Victor Adeboyejo, with an impressive BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.80, is leading Bolton’s charge, having already found the net four times this season. Midfield dynamo Jack Iredale, Ricardo Santos at the back, and goalkeeper Nathan Baxter with a 7.37 rating, have also played pivotal roles in Bolton’s strong start.
Wigan’s Leading Lights:
Charlie Wyke stands out with three goals to his credit and an expert rating of 7.50. Defensive stalwart Tom Pearce leads the rating charts with 7.83, closely followed by Charlie Hughes. It’s clear that these players will be instrumental in Wigan’s hopes of turning around their season.
Predictions
1. Match Outcome – Both Teams to Score:
Considering Bolton’s impeccable form and Wigan’s defensive frailties, it’s likely that the Wanderers will find the back of the net. However, given Wigan’s attacking potential and Bolton missing key forward Dion Charles, we could see both teams scoring in this encounter.
2. Correct Score Prediction – Bolton 2-1 Wigan:
Although Bolton have displayed stellar defensive solidity, Wigan, with their offensive strengths, might just break through. On the flip side, Wigan’s defensive lapses could allow Bolton to capitalise. Thus, a 2-1 scoreline in favour of Bolton seems plausible.
3. Goalscorer Prediction – Victor Adeboyejo to Score:
With an impressive four goals already this season and leading the charts for Bolton, Victor Adeboyejo stands out as the most likely to score. Especially in the absence of Dion Charles, Adeboyejo could be the man to watch out for.
