Bolton – Peterborough preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Bolton vs Peterborough lineups.
Bolton
Bolton suffered their first away league defeat of the season last weekend. They took the lead on their visit to Reading but ended up losing 1-2 in the end. Toal’s sending-off played a decisive part in this outcome.
Bolton are yet to find consistency and still they won 4 of their opening 7 matches and continue to score plenty of goals.
Toal’s coming suspension won’t be such a major issue as the Trotters were expected to rotate in a few positions anyway.
Of the 5 players out with injuries right now only winger Gomes plays often so Bolton enter this match close to full strength.
Predicted Lineup:
Baxter (GK), Jones, Santos, Iredale, Dacres-Cogley, Thomason, Sheehan, Williams, Dempsey, Charles & Adeboyejo
Peterborough
Peterborough played a postponed league game on Tuesday night and they achieved an easy win. Beat Cheltenham 3-0 at home with the game decided 5 minutes in when the visitors were reduced to ten men. Peterborough still had to remain patient as all of their goals were scored in the second half.
Last season’s Golden Boot winner Clarke-Harris starts to find his feet. Scored in 3 of his last 5 starts.
Posh come into this match close to full strength. Only a handful of very rarely-used anyway players are out injured right now.
Predicted Lineup:
Bilokapic (GK), Kioso, Katongo, Crichlow, Burrows, Collins, De Havilland, Wakeling, Randall, Epson-Clark & Clarke-Harris
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Dion Charles
Bolton’s star striker Dion Charles has scored 5 goals in the opening 7 rounds. He also netted the last time the sides met and is bound to enter this match high on confidence.
We can see Charles causing all sorts of problems in the air against the Posh. This is an area Peterborough struggled with so far this season, while Charles is very strong at it. That’s why we back Charles to increase his goal tally.
