Wigan vs Bolton Prediction (17.01.2026)

Bolton is a team that feels much more comfortable in their home matches, while their performance as guests remains quite shaky. In their 12 visits this season, they have only two wins, which clearly shows that they struggle to impose their style away from their stadium.

Wigan is in the lower half of the standings, and their form does not inspire much optimism – only one win in the last six league matches. Although Bolton has already beaten this opponent relatively easily once this season, the overall picture for both teams points to cautious encounters. It is telling that in six of Wigan's last seven matches, there have been under 2.5 goals, as well as in four of Bolton's last five matches.

The shaky form of both teams, their difficulties in attack, and the clear trend towards low scoring shape expectations for a tight match with few chances. That is why the prediction for under 2.5 goals seems like a completely logical and justified choice for this match.
