Out of a mainly healthy group, there’s only the lone fitness issue for the Bristol Rovers boss Iñigo Calderón to be concerned about. Kamil Conteh (Bone inflammation) won’t be in action.
🔮 Prediction
In our view, Bolton Wanderers can create enough chances to score more than one when they meet Bristol Rovers, who could well find it tough to get a goal of their own.
We’re tipping a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Bolton Wanderers when all’s said and done.
