Bolton vs Shrewsbury Free Betting Tips and Predictions

The League One match Bolton – Shrewsbury sees two teams from the top half of the table and both in shaky form face each other. Below we have tried to give you our best free betting tips.

Bolton to Win

Our first Bolton vs Shrewsbury prediction backs the playoff-chasing hosts to record a win they badly need. Only goal difference keeps the Trotters in the top 6 and on all their inconsistencies they remain solid hosts – won 5 of their last 7 home league games. Shrewsbury, on the other hand, play only for pride and they come into the match with a single point from their last 6 games. Also, the Shrews are badly crippled right now with only 10 available field players from the senior squad taking to the pitch last time out on Tuesday.

Over 1.5 Bolton Goals

Our next Bolton vs Shrewsbury prediction again backs the hosts. We think Bolton will score at least 2 goals in this match. The Trotters scored 7 goals in just their last 3 home games. Now they are up against a Shrewsbury defence that conceded 2 or more in all of their last 5 away matches.

Clean Sheet Bolton

Our final Bolton vs Shrewsbury prediction backs the hosts to keep a clean sheet. Bolton have 12 clean sheets in 20 home matches played up to now. At the same time, Shrewsbury failed to score in 4 of their last 7 away games.

Bolton vs Shrewsbury Lineups and Other News

Bolton

Bolton were held to a slightly frustrating 1-1 away draw vs Burton in midweek. Played well and took the lead very early but lost focus in the second half and this proved costly. The home form has remained solid all season though and this is the main reason why Bolton remain in the top 6, even if only on goal difference.

Coach Evans has no fresh injury issues and his options are even a bit better with midfielder Lee fit again. Still, Bolton have 6 sidelined players and among them are 3 potential starters in defence if fit – Santos, Toal and Iredale.

Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury were close to a major upset on Tuesday when taking an unexpected lead at home vs Sheff Wed. However, a goal conceded deep in stoppage time saw the Shrew losing 1-2 to extend their very poor run. A huge factor in this defeat was the fact that Shrewsbury had only 4 teenagers on the bench as they had just 10 field players from the senior squad available. Didn’t make any substitutions and this proved costly late on.

The gaffer will be challenged for the coming game too as the squad is small and continues to be missing some important players. This could see him opting to give 1-2 of the teenagers a chance. Flanagan remains suspended. Also, 5 players are out sidelined with 4 of those likely starters when fit. Those being Nurse, Bayliss, Udoh and Saydee. On top of all that several others are deemed doubtful so could once more have only 10 field players available.
