Match Result Prediction: Bolton Wanderers to Win
Bolton Wanderers are our favourites to win the game. Apart from having the hosting advantage, the hosts have recently done better than Portsmouth if we overlook their performance in the EFL Trophy tournament so far. Both teams have lost once in the contest after five assignments. Apart from that, Bolton is unbeaten in their last 6 matches across all competition. They have 5 clean sheets in the 6 games, a record that dwarfs Portsmouth’s recent run of going without a win in the last five. The visitors have only one clean sheet from a barren draw in the last five matches.
Total Match Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
We are tipping fewer than 3 goals in the Bolton vs Portsmouth EFL Trophy quarterfinals. It is the first meeting in this contest between the two teams. Most importantly, the recent four duels have been tough as they all yielded under 2.5 goals. Notably, only one matchup in the last four had more than a goal.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Bolton Wanderers
It is the first EFL Trophy clash between Bolton and Portsmouth. With that, expect a tough game on matchday. From our second tip and analysis, this can only be a narrow win for either side. Portsmouth won three of the last five and didn’t lose to Bolton during that period. However, the visitors are in poor form, which is why Bolton is our pick to win the clash.
Bolton vs Portsmouth Match Preview
Bolton Wanderers
Bolton Wanderers have the form to earn them some progress in the EFL Trophy. Five clean sheets in their last five and going unbeaten during that period is some good record to look back on in this encounter. They should be able to end Portsmouth’s dominance in the last five duels.
Portsmouth
Portsmouth is unbeaten against Bolton Wanderers in the last five meetings. However, that may end in this trip to play in the EFL Trophy Quarterfinals. A winless run in the last five matches and only one clean sheet during that period complicates matters for the visitors.
