An aggregate of 12 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 1 of them from The Red Imps and 11 being from The Trotters. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.

When taking all factors into account, Bolton Wanderers and Lincoln City could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.
We’ll see, but this looks like it could end up all-square. Therefore, we predict a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of this one.
