Win for Bolton
Bolton have been a solid team for several weeks. The team has been able to slowly make a name for themselves in the top six of the league table. The two-point advantage over Derby County does provide plenty of flexibility for Bolton going into the upcoming match, but Burton Albion will be a big threat. Dino Maamria and his team are looking for a second consecutive home victory. The home team need little motivation as they are once again going up against a top six opponent. This Burton vs Bolton prediction expects an away win even amidst this difficulty.
Over 2.5 goals in total
The Burton vs Bolton betting tips expect both teams to contribute significantly in the final third of the pitch. Burton have been quite decisive on this front with 12 goals in the last six matches. Meanwhile, Bolton have been very measured during the same period with the team only returning four goals. Home advantage should allow Burton Albion to continue in the same attacking philosophy and there should be plenty of goals as a result.

Burton vs Bolton: Team News, Line-Ups, & Form Analysis
Burton:
Dino Maamria is likely to make some changes to the Burton vs Bolton lineups after the big win over Sheffield Wednesday during the weekend. Even though Burton have little motivation to do well in terms of league positioning, the team will be heavily motivated about the prospect of facing top six opponents in back-to-back matches.
Predicted Line-Up:
MacGillivray, Brayford, Oshilaja, Hughes, Ashworth, Carayol, Moon, Shaughnessy, Helm, Powell, Taylor
Bolton:
Bolton may continue with the same starting lineup given that coach Ian Evatt does not have too many injury problems in the squad. The Bolton team have been able to pick up close victories in a string of matches, but it has them open up a two-point advantage over Derby, who are sitting just outside the play-off positions.
Predicted Line-Up:
Trafford, John, Williams, Jones, Johnston, Bradley, Sheehan, Dempsey, Morley, Charles, N'Lundulu
Player to Watch: Ricardo Santos
Bolton have been a strong defensive team throughout the campaign and one of the key factors has been the form of Ricardo Santos. The Portuguese defender will be tested to the maximum by Burton, who have been averaging two goals per game in the last few weeks.
Starting Line-Ups:
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
