Bolton Wanderers to Win
Event though both teams started the new season with four points from the first two rounds, Bolton earned their points in a league above, so they are clearly the favourites in this game.
And while Cup games can often be unpredictable, we feel that Bolton has more than enough quality to deal with Salford City in front of their home crowd, especially since Bolton beat Salford in their previous two h2h meetings.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
Both of the previous head-to-head duels between Bolton and Salford City have gone under 2.5 total goals, so we can see that happening again on Tuesday as well.
Furthermore, Bolton Wanderers have gone under 2.5 total goals in one of their two games in League One this season, while Salford City did the same in both of their matches in League Two so far.

Bolton Wanderers vs Salford City: Recent news, form, and potential lineups
These two teams were in the same league a couple of seasons ago, but things have changed now. So, let's take a closer look at the teams ahead of this game:
Bolton Wanderers
Despite closing last season in League One on a streak of four wins in a row, Bolton only ended up in the ninth place in the standings. However, the team started the new season in good form as well, with one win and one draw in the first couple of rounds in the third rank of English football.
When it comes to team news, Bolton is almost complete, but they will once again be without Lloyd Isgrove, who is out with a long-term knee injury.
Bolton Wanderers predicted lineup:
Trafford – Iredale, Johnston, Santos, Jones, Bradley – Morley, Williams, Dempsey – Bakayoko, Afolayan
Salford City
Last season, Salford City was tenth in the standings in League Two, so their fans are certainly hoping for their team to do a bit better this season and at least fight for the playoffs. On that note, Salford City did well in the first two rounds of the new season, claiming a win and a draw so far.
Meanwhile, Elliot Simoes is dealing with a muscle problem and he will have to stay on the sidelines for a while longer.
Salford City predicted lineup:
Torrance – Nartey, Vassell, Lowe – Touray, Watt, Watson, Bolton – McAleny, Hendry, Brandon
