Bolton Wanderers vs Bristol City brings together two sides in need of consistency at the Toughsheet Community Stadium on Saturday 31 October, a 3.00pm kick-off with the Robins the narrow favourites on their travels.
Wanderers are 18th and have struggled badly at home, while Bristol City sit a point better off and travel much better than they play in front of their own fans. Our Bolton Wanderers vs Bristol City predictions and best bets are below, with Anthony Eadson laying out two picks and the stats behind them.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has studied the Bolton Wanderers vs Bristol City markets and picked out two selections worth backing.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Bristol City to win | 13/10 (William Hill) | Bristol City are winless in four, but both defeats in that run came at Ashton Gate and they drew both away games, so it is their away form that matters here. The Robins have lost just one of six on the road, winning two and drawing three, while Bolton have been poor at home, losing four of six and shipping 12 goals, including a 5-1 hammering by Middlesbrough last time out. With Wanderers offering so little resistance at the Toughsheet, Bristol City to win at 13/10 with William Hill backs the better-organised team at a price that rewards their record on the road. |
| Rio Cardines to assist | 17/4 (Ladbrokes) | Rio Cardines is Bristol City’s creative hub, with six assists and 35 chances created in 12 league games, both team highs by a distance. Bolton have been breached 12 times in six home games, so the Robins should find openings, and Cardines also takes a big share of the set-pieces, giving him two routes to a goal involvement. With the visitors relying on him to unlock defences, 17/4 with Ladbrokes for an assist is a price worth taking. |

How Bolton Wanderers go into the game
Bolton Wanderers go into the weekend 18th, with 14 points from four wins, two draws and six defeats. Wanderers were hit for five on home soil last time out, beaten 5-1 by leaders Middlesbrough, and that result summed up a poor home campaign. Before that they drew 0-0 at Southampton, won 3-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers, lost 2-1 at home to Stoke City and won 4-3 at Norwich City.
Tellingly, Bolton have done their best work away from home, with both of those recent wins coming on the road. At the Toughsheet their record reads two wins and four defeats from six, with 12 conceded and not a single home draw all season, so Bristol City will travel north smelling an opportunity.
How Bristol City go into the game
Bristol City arrive 14th, a point above the hosts, having taken 15 points from four wins, three draws and five defeats. The Robins drew 0-0 at Stoke City last time out, a result that summed up a curious split in their season. Their recent games read a goalless draw at Stoke, back-to-back home defeats to Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers, a 1-1 draw at Charlton Athletic and a 1-0 home win over Watford.
The contrast is stark. Away from Ashton Gate the Robins have lost just once in six, winning two and drawing three, even if the goals have been hard to come by with only nine scored on the road. A well-drilled away outfit against a leaky home side is the heart of the case for the visitors here.
Bolton Wanderers vs Bristol City head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25/01/19 | Bristol City | 2-1 | Bolton Wanderers |
| 12/01/19 | Bristol City | 2-1 | Bolton Wanderers |
| 11/08/18 | Bolton Wanderers | 2-2 | Bristol City |
| 02/02/18 | Bolton Wanderers | 1-0 | Bristol City |
| 26/09/17 | Bristol City | 2-0 | Bolton Wanderers |
These two have not met since January 2019, so the head-to-head offers little for the here and now. Bristol City won both meetings that month 2-1, in the league and the FA Cup, and took two of the four league games on offer, with Bolton winning one and the other finishing level.
Bolton Wanderers vs Bristol City predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol City | 13/10 (Betway) | ⭐⭐⭐ | The Robins have lost just one of six away, while Bolton have lost four of their six at home. |
| Both teams to score – Yes | 8/13 (Betfred) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Bolton have scored in each of their last two at home while conceding 12 at the Toughsheet this season. |
| Over 2.5 goals | 4/5 (bet365) | ⭐⭐ | Bolton’s six home games have produced 19 goals at both ends, so the afternoon rarely lacks action. |
| Bolton 1-2 Bristol City | 17/2 (bet365) | ⭐⭐ | Bristol City won 2-1 at Burnley and 3-1 at Preston on the road, and Bolton have scored in five of their six home games. |
Bolton Wanderers vs Bristol City score prediction
Away form could be the deciding factor here. Bolton have scored in five of their six home games, but their home record has been dreadful and Bristol City travel well, losing just once on the road. We will back the visitors to edge it. Score prediction: Bolton Wanderers 1-2 Bristol City.
