League One
These clubs have crossed paths seven times since 2010, and Oldham have had the better of those meetings. The Latics came out on top four times and kept three clean sheets, while Bolton claimed victory in the other three. Their clashes rarely turn into goal fests, averaging just two goals per match.
Oldham Athletic team overview
Oldham made their return to the Football League this season after earning promotion from the National League, but the jump up hasn’t been easy.
They’ve picked up only four wins from fifteen league games and sit around mid-table, while their Trophy campaign has been a rough ride with two straight defeats.
Still, there’s reason for optimism. Micky Mellon’s men have won back-to-back games and haven’t lost at home in five matches.
Ryan Woods is suspended after his red card against Harrogate, but the rest of the squad is fit and available.

Bolton Wanderers team overview
Bolton look like a team on a mission this season. They’re right in the thick of the promotion race in League One and sit only two points behind the leaders. In the Trophy, they’ve made light work of Rotherham and Manchester City U21s, scoring four without reply across those two fixtures.
Ian Evatt’s side also booked a place in the next round of the FA Cup after beating Huddersfield 2-1. Their away form, however, tells a different story.
The Trotters have managed just one win from their last seven games on the road - something they’ll want to fix quickly.

Prediction
This one could go either way. Bolton carry the better form and have more firepower, but Oldham’s confidence at home shouldn’t be underestimated. Expect a close and competitive game where both sides get their chances. I am predicting a 1-1 draw.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Four of the last six home games of Oldham ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Bolton have scored more than one goal in just one of their seven away games this season.
- Bets on under 2.5 goals won in five of the last six meetings between Oldham and Bolton.
