Stevenage Predicted Line-up: Taye Ashby-Hammond; Dan Butler, Lewis Freestone, Luther Wildin, Kane Smith; Harvey White, Eli King; Jake Young, Daniel Phillips, Jordan Roberts; Jamie Reid

Stevenage aren’t doing too badly this season. After their survival last season, they’re currently 15th in League One with 17 points. That’s five wins, two draws and six defeats.

However, they’re off the back of two consecutive losses to Rotherham United and Cambridge United. Whilst there’s still plenty of time left this season, the confidence they could have won’t be there heading into this game. Additionally, in their last four games, they’ve conceded six and scored just once.

Their one saviour could be their home form. Out of seven home games so far in 2024/25, they come away with five wins and just two losses.

Bolton were always going to suffer from that post play-off loss this season. Still under the reigns of Ian Evatt though, they seem to be notching a decent run of form together. They have only one loss (at the hands of league leaders Birmingham City) in their last seven league games. In that time, they’ve collected 15 points from five wins and drawn once also.

In the league they sit 9th with 20 points from their opening 12 fixtures. However, they’ve scored (18) just as much as they’ve conceded so far, something they’ll want to fix heading into the busy Christmas period.

When it comes to standout players, Dion Charles has five goals 12 games which makes him their highest scorer so far.

Bolton are starting to look like the side that finished 3rd and missed out on promotion into the Championship last season. Repeating that will be tough, but their strong form right now means they’ll be hoping to take a victory from any ground they visit.

Stevenage have looked good in patches, but Bolton are a side with real attacking threat. Something the home side will find hard to deal with.
