Bolton welcome in-form Stoke to the Macron Stadium on Saturday afternoon, kick-off 3pm, and our Bolton vs Stoke predictions and betting tips lean to the visitors, who arrive unbeaten in their last four Championship games.
Our Bolton vs Stoke predictions and betting tips are below, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets and score prediction.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs the in-form visitors.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Sam Gallagher to score anytime | 11/4 (bet365) | Sam Gallagher leads the line for a Stoke side unbeaten in its last four and one that has scored in every game this season. Bolton have leaked goals all campaign, shipping 15 already, so the visitors should carve out chances at the Macron. Gallagher is their focal point and a handful against a shaky home defence. At 11/4 to score anytime, the striker offers value as Stoke look to extend their unbeaten run against a Bolton side with just two clean sheets all season. |
| Stoke and both teams to score | 4/1 (William Hill) | Stoke have found the net in every game this season and arrive unbeaten in four, while Bolton showed their attacking side in a wild 4-3 win at Norwich last time out. Both sides carry a goal threat, and with the hosts leaking at the back a high-scoring game looks on. A Stoke win with both teams scoring fits the shape of it. At 4/1, the selection is the value call, with Bolton having shipped 15 goals in just eight games. |

Stoke are eighth and in good order, unbeaten in their last four and fresh from a 2-1 home win over Sheffield United.
The visitors have scored in every game this season, with Sam Gallagher leading the line.

The clubs have not met since the 2018/19 season, when Stoke won one and drew the other, so recent form matters far more than history here.
