📊 Form Guide
Exeter City
WWLLDL
Exeter City will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-1 League One loss in their previous game against Peterborough United.
The only player to score from Exeter City was Tom Carroll (36'). Ephron Mason-Clark (4') and Kwame Poku (68') scored for Peterborough United.
It has not been often in recent times that Exeter City have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Exeter City have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 9 goals in the process. Such a trend won’t necessarily follow through here, though.
A look at their previous results shows us that Exeter City:
- haven't won against Bolton Wanderers in their last 3 league matches.
- are without a home win in the past 2 matches in the league.
Bolton Wanderers
DWLLWD ⚖
In their previous game, Bolton Wanderers drew 2-2 in the League One match with Barnsley.
For Bolton Wanderers, the goalscorers were Victor Adeboyejo (62') and Randell Williams (90'). John McAtee (25') and Donovan Pines (47') scored for Barnsley.
Proving their penchant for eventful encounters, we’ve had goals 20 times in the previous six games in which Bolton Wanderers have sent out their troops, giving a mean average of 3.33 goals per meeting. Opposition teams have managed 10 of this grand total.
Coming into this fixture, Bolton Wanderers are undefeated by Exeter City in games played away from home for the previous 4 league games. An impressive run.
↔️ Head to head
A look at their prior head to head meetings going back to 20/03/1993 tells us that Exeter City have won 1 of them and Bolton Wanderers 4, with the tally of drawn games standing at 1.
In all, 20 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 4 for The Grecians and 16 netted by The Trotters. That’s an average goals per game of 3.33.
The last league game between the two was League One match day 19 on 25/11/2023 when the final score was Bolton Wanderers 7-0 Exeter City.
The referee was Ben Speedie.
📰 Team News: Exeter City
Ben Purrington (Ankle injury), Demetri Mitchell (Cruciate ligament injury) and Gabe Billington (Broken ankle) will be missing for Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell.
We think that The Grecians could employ a 3-4-2-1 formation this time with Sam Johnstone, Joel Ward, Joachim Andersen, Chris Richards, Daniel Munoz, Tyrick Mitchell, Jefferson Lerma, Adam Wharton, Jordan Ayew, Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
📰 Team News: Bolton Wanderers
Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has not got a full squad to pick from. Dion Charles (Knee injury) and George Johnston (Knee surgery) will miss out on this game.
We believe The Trotters appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-2-1 lineup, going with Thomas Kaminski, Reece Burke, Teden Mengi, Daiki Hashioka, Issa Kabore, Alfie Doughty, Jordan Clark, Ross Barkley, Andros Townsend, Tahith Chong and Carlton Morris.
🔮 Prediction
Exeter City may find it difficult to get anything against this Bolton Wanderers outfit who we think will get the vital goal that wins it.
We’re therefore seeing a very even match with a 0-1 victory for Bolton Wanderers after 90 minutes.
Hoping for a good game.
