Bolton Wanderers vs Fleetwood Town Match Analysis & Prediction
12/11/2024 10:45 pm
Lancashire rivals Bolton Wanderers and Fleetwood Town meet in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night, with a spot in the knockout round at stake.
Only the top two in northern section Group D can go through, and second-placed Bolton lead their visitors by one point heading into the group-stage finale.
After beating Barrow 3-2 in their opening game, before drawing 1-1 with leaders Aston Villa U21 and losing a subsequent penalty shootout, Bolton have their EFL Trophy destinty within their own hands.
Victory or a draw would secure at least second spot in Group D, sealing progress to the knockout rounds, but stopping a recent downturn will be upmost in Ian Evatt’s thoughts.
At the weekend, Bolton’f fellow promotion hopefuls Stockport County beat them 5-0, so Evatt’s side have slipped to 10th in the League One standings, seven points behind second-placed Birmingham City.
Meanwhile, Ronan Coughlan’s early penalty was enough to earn Fleetwood a 1-0 home victory over Bradford City on Saturday, despite being their sole shot on target throughout the 90 minutes.
Just three points shy of the playoff spots, Fleetwood can now take a break from the long slog in League Two, with another win on Tuesday sure to secure their spot in the EFL Trophy’s knockout round.
In Group D so far, they have lost a five-goal thriller against Aston Villa’s development squad and beaten Barrow 3-0, so overcoming Bolton would guarantee a top-two finish.
