Both Bolton Wanderers and Wrexham were victorious on the opening weekend of League One and are expected to be promoted this season, so this match is crucial in the 2024/25 season.
Bolton secured a 1-2 away win in their previous game against Leyton Orient, a 75th minute winner from Nigerian striker Victor Adeboyejo. That win sees them placed in fifth in the league table on goal difference. They will look to improve on that place come the end of the season as they are a team that should be back in the Championship after missing out over the last two seasons.
Playoff heartbreak has befallen Bolton in consecutive seasons, most recently losing 0-2 versus Oxford United in the Final after finishing the season in third place. A win against Wrexham will be key if they want to avoid that again by earning automatic promotion.
If they want to achieve that they will need to improve defensively as they have conceded in their last nine games across all competitions. Wrexham striker Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer will be hoping to capitalise on that poor form.
A 3-2 victory in their opening game against Wycombe Wanderers sees Wrexham just one place above Bolton in the League One standings, goal difference being the factor. All three goals were scored by three different goalscorers, proving that they have the quality in attack they need. The Welsh side aim to achieve back to back to back promotions after escaping League Two on the first time of asking.
Hollywood ownership has its perks as Wrexham had a star studded pre-season to help get them ready. Two matches against Premier League opposition in Bournemouth and Chelsea ended with two draws, 1-1 and 2-2 respectively. However, that didn’t help when it mattered as they were dumped out of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday after losing 4-2 away against Championship side Sheffield United.
Like Bolton, they have struggled defensively as The Red Dragons have not managed to keep a clean sheet in their last 6 attempts. They have the goal scoring abilities, but Phil Parkinson will hope to fix that issue in time for this match versus Bolton.
Our betting experts have predicted Half Time Draw/Full Time Bolton + Both Teams To Score. Conceding is a common theme with these sides and that is something that we will likely see again in this match. After a gruelling match against Sheffield United, Wrexham could be struggling with a lack of fitness which could let Bolton come into the game more in the second half.
