Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson leans towards Bolton, whose home advantage should count against a Lincoln side beaten last time out.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Bolton Wanderers to win | 13/10 | Bolton showed plenty of defensive resilience to earn a 0-0 draw at QPR last weekend and should be much more dangerous on home soil. Steven Schumacher’s side can build on that result against a Lincoln team still searching for their first league points. Lincoln were beaten 3-1 by Portsmouth last weekend and have looked vulnerable at the back. With home advantage and the greater attacking quality, Bolton look well placed to claim their first win of the season. |
| Both teams to score | 4/5 | Bolton should create plenty of chances at home, but Lincoln have shown enough attacking intent to cause problems at the other end. The Imps scored three against Portsmouth last weekend and have taken an aggressive approach despite their poor start. Bolton’s home advantage should see them find the net too, making both teams to score at 4/5 the pick. |

How Bolton Wanderers go into the game
Bolton opened with a disciplined 0-0 draw at QPR, a solid point on the road. The Toughsheet Community Stadium should be a lively venue as they chase a first home win in the Championship.
Promoted via the League One play-offs, Bolton are well-organised and hard to beat. Making home advantage count is central to their survival hopes.
How Lincoln City go into the game
Lincoln were beaten 3-1 at home by Portsmouth last weekend, a chastening result for the newcomers. They travel to Bolton knowing away days will be tough at this level.
Well-coached and spirited, Lincoln will look to frustrate Bolton and hit on the counter. A much-improved defensive display is needed after conceding three last time.
