Bristol Rovers or Draw

Our first Bristol Rovers vs Bolton prediction is for the hosts to avoid a defeat. Despite playing only for pride the Pirates will be motivated to end the season with a positive result in front of their own fans. Bristol drew 3 of the last 4 H2Hs. Also, it has been confirmed that Bolton’s manager plans to rest some of his most important players ahead of the playoffs so they avoid injuries.

Under 2.5 Goals

Our next Bristol Rovers vs Bolton prediction is for the game to have fewer than 3 total goals. All of Bolton’s last games were low-scoring affairs with less than 3 goals in them. All of Bolton’s last 5 away games failed to deliver 3 goals or more. Bristol haven’t been scoring much lately themselves and only 1 of their last 4 went over 2.5 goals.

BTTS

Our final Bristol Rovers vs Bolton prediction might be seen as a slight contradiction to the previous one but we think both teams will get on the scoresheet. With not much pressure for either team, the game should be open. With 4 of the last 5 H2Hs having BTTS outcomes we can’t see why this couldn’t happen again. Bristol saw their last 2 home games produce such outcomes too.

Bristol Rovers vs Bolton Lineups and Team News

Bristol Rovers

Rovers end the season in poor form and they have collected just 2 points from their last 6 (D2 L4). Ever since the mid-table finish was confirmed the Pirates lost morale and motivation. This is the main reason why they have been struggling. Scored just 1 goal in the last 4 rounds too.

Coach Barton has selection issues for the coming match with 3 important players set to miss. Captain Coutts, the main playmaker, will miss the final round. With Rossiter also sidelined the options in midfield are limited. Left-back Anderton is also out of action as he battles cancer.

Bolton

Bolton confirmed their place in the playoffs last weekend with a deserved 2-0 home win vs Fleetwood. A run of only 1 defeat in 8 came at the right time for the Trotters and they start to think about the postseason now.

With that in mind, the manager hinted that he might give some of his most used players rest in this final round so they could be fresh for the start of the playoff battles. Centre-back Santos could be involved though. He only just resumed training after injury and he needs the minutes to build his match sharpness.
