Our Three Predictions For Bolton Wanderers v Wycombe Wanderers

- Prediction 3 – Wycombe Wanderers To Win – 3/2
First Prediction For Bolton Wanderers v Wycombe Wanderers – Match To End In A Draw – 11/5
Bolton Wanderers may have home advantage in this match with an eye of the playoffs, and they do have the seventh best home record in the division, but their visitors Wycombe Wanderers are nearing the nd of a season long battle with Wrexham for the second automatic promotion place. So, a win for both is crucial, but as so often in these types of games, they do cancel each others needs out, and a draw could be the most likeliest outcome. There have not been many draws this season for the pair, only six overall for Bolton, and three of those at home. Wycombe also have an equal split as they have drawn six of their 12 drawn games away. A point will not do either side many favours in their promotion chases, but also may be enough on the grand scheme of things.
Second Prediction For Bolton Wanderers v Wycombe Wanderers – Under 2.5 Goals Scored – 33/50
With Bolton scoring 67 times so far in this campaign, and Wycombe 63, you would think this would be a game full of goals. As the season comes to its tipping point defences start to tighten up at the top end of the table, and certainly at home Bolton have run a tight ship at the back having only conceded four in the last five, but their last game was a blip when they let four in against Barnsley. Wycombe away have only conceded 26 in 21 trips, and in the last six games average a goal conceded a game. In the last 14 games played, Wycombe have been involved in 13 games where less than 2.5 goals have been scored. The nature and importance of this game means that chances will be at a premium, and could lead to a low scoring game and earlier in the season they plated out a goalless draw.
Third Prediction For Bolton Wanderers v Wycombe Wanderers – Wycombe Wanderers To Win – 3/2
Two hard fought wins in their last two games, both 1-0 wins, have put Wycombe hard on the tail of Wrexham, the team they have had a protracted tussle with this season. They are just a point behind the Welsh side with four games to go, and this game will be viewed as one they could, and perhaps should win. Bolton do of course have the need to win, but after losses to Rotherham United and Barnsley has meant the momentum has slipped away, but it is still very much in the Wycombe armoury. This will be a tight game, and Wycombe have proved that they can muscle their way through close matches, as they have ground out two 1-0 wins against Huddersfield Town and Stevenage in their last two.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head To Head
Bolton Wanderers are one of those teams you always assume are doing ok, going about their football with no real dramas, and that is probably why they are still in the mix for the promotion places at this late stage of the season. Steven Schumacher will need to guide them back on track quickly though as back to back defeats have seen them slip away from the last playoff spot, but are only three points away from it. The goals of Aaron Collins and John McAtee have kept them near the top six for so long and the pair will want to add to the 23 they have between them in the last four games, They will also need Aaron Morley to keep things ticking over in midfield. George Johnston has been the standout player at the back, and alongside Ricardo Santos they have to keep things organised in defence for Bolton to have a perfect end to the campaign.
Wycombe Wanderers have been hanging on to the coattails of Birmingham City for most of the season, but now that The Blues have secured their place in the Championship, one spot remains. Wrexham are now the ones that Wycombe are battling. It really is a case of who will crack as both are ready for the next step. Mike Dodd’s’ side will take some momentum into the Easter period, and the remaining games but will hope it is his side that will last the course. Richard Kone has 18 goals and will be key down the stretch and has the perfect foil with Cameron Humphreys, who has seven strikes with six assists. Staying strong at the back is critical, and Caleb Taylor is forming a strong link with Sonny Bradley in defence. Even though automatic promotion is out of their control, and a tough run in with games against teams all in the top eight, there is a confidence in the group that may see them over the line.
