Bolton visit Wigan at a crucial moment in the season, as the battle for a spot in the promotion playoffs enters a decisive phase. Bolton are in eighth place with 60 points, just two behind sixth-placed Reading, but their form has dropped significantly lately with three consecutive losses. In their last match, Bolton lost 1-2 when they visited Blackpool.
Wigan dominate in recent clashesWigan are in 18th place with 44 points, trailing by 18 points from the playoff zone. The team drew 1-1 against Barnsley in their last match, continuing their inconsistent form. However, Wigan have a significant advantage in direct matches against Bolton - they have not lost to this opponent in eight consecutive matches, with Bolton's last victory dating back to October 2011.
Prediction for over 1.5 goalsBoth teams have attackers who regularly score throughout the season, and their recent match ended in a 2-0 victory for Wigan. I expect this trend to continue in the upcoming match and predict there will be at least two goals in the game.
