An Useful Preseason Clash
Key Stats
– Everton managed to survive relegation last season with just two points over Leicester City, marking a challenging season.
– Everton’s Neal Maupay, who scored in the preseason friendly, is expected to shine in the forthcoming match.
The English Premier League 2023-24 season is fast approaching, and as the teams make their last-minute preparations, Everton are set to face Bolton Wanderers in a thrilling preseason clash at the Toughsheet Community Stadium this Tuesday.
Bolton Wanderers: The Home Advantage
The Wanderers have been demonstrating commendable form in the preseason, securing a 2-1 victory over Salford City last Saturday. After finishing ninth in the 2021-22 League One season, Bolton showed a marked improvement last season, ending in the fifth position. Under the leadership of Ian Evatt, the team recorded 26 victories, eight draws, and 12 defeats, managing a total of 15 points behind Sheffield Wednesday, the third-placed team, and displaying an improvement of eight points from their previous season’s performance.

The Wanderers have been quite active in the preseason, playing five matches this month and claiming victory in four, while managing to draw once against Chester City. Bolton’s home record last season saw them win 47 out of a possible 69 points, although this was only the fifth-best in the league.
Their performance was elevated by an unbeaten streak of nine games around New Year, which included seven clean sheets. The last victory over Everton at this venue was in the 2011-12 season when Bolton was a Premier League side. Despite not being the favourites for this match, the Wanderers will aim to impress against top-tier competition and solidify their team for the forthcoming season.
Everton: Rising From the Ashes
On the other hand, the Toffees are looking to recover from a rather disappointing last season, where they barely escaped relegation from the Premier League, a feat they have managed to avoid since its inception in 1992. After spending much of the season under the relegation line, Frank Lampard was replaced by Sean Dyche.
Dyche’s tenure started with a bang as they defeated the then league leaders, Arsenal, in his inaugural match. Despite a struggling season with only eight victories, a critical strike from Abdoulaye Doucoure against Bournemouth on the last day helped Everton surpass the relegated Leicester City by a mere two points.
Everton started their preseason positively, winning both friendlies against Stade Nyonnais and Wigan Athletic. Despite managing only two away wins last season, their second-lowest in the league, the Toffees are optimistic about the new season. With fresh faces in the dressing room and a promising preseason run, Dyche’s men are determined to build momentum as they prepare for their first league match against Fulham next month.
Team Formations and Player Updates
George Johnston for Bolton and Seamus Coleman for Everton are likely to miss the preseason due to knee injuries. Ricardo Santos, who returned against Bradford City after an injury hiatus, is expected to start for Bolton. Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Amadou Onana, and Vitalii Mykolenko are marked as doubtful, although Mykolenko might still feature, subject to a late fitness test. Dyche might employ the 38-year-old Ashley Young in an advanced role after his excellent performance against Wigan Athletic.
Match Predictions
Prediction 1: Win-Draw-Win Market
Considering Bolton’s impressive preseason form and Everton’s struggle last season, it might be tempting to bet on a Bolton win. However, it’s crucial to note that Everton have demonstrated signs of a resurgence, winning both their preseason friendlies. With the combined strength of the new and existing players, Everton are predicted to win this match.
Prediction 2: Correct Score Prediction
Bolton have had a robust defensive strategy, as reflected by their clean sheets in the previous season. Everton, however, have shown improved scoring potential in their preseason matches. Balancing these factors, a 2-1 victory in Everton’s favour seems likely.
Prediction 3: Goalscorer Prediction
Neal Maupay, who got on the scoresheet in the match against Stade Nyonnais, is expected to find the back of the net in this game, given his recent form and the overall team momentum.
