On August 18, Tafshit Community will host the match of the 2nd round of the League 1 of England, in which Bolton will play against Wrexham. Prepared an exclusive forecast by Dailysports experts.
“Bolton”
The team is memorable to fans of British soccer with a long history as a strong middleman of the Premier League. Especially the times of “Big Sam” Allardyce, when the “white” at the beginning of the century broke through to the UEFA Cup. Well, once, in the twentieth century, they repeatedly took the cup of England. But a series of financial and sporting problems threw them first out of the APL, and then from the Championships. There was an attempt to return there last season, but the club took third place in the regular season, and lost to Oxford United 0-2 in the playoff final.
Ian Evatt (manager since 2020) is starting a new attempt. And the funds have been found to invite Canadian Arfield and Hungarian Shen. In the first round with Leyton Orient we managed to beat them away. And then we beat Mansfield on penalties in the League Cup.
“Wrexham"
The club is one of many representatives of neighboring Wales that are trying to find a higher place for themselves in the soccer structure of neighboring England. The “Red Devils” do it much worse than their neighbors, “Cardiff” and “Swansea”. On the other hand, somehow it was these Welsh that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were interested in. Money from Hollywood quickly had an impact: in record time the team climbed two steps, from the semi-amateur National Conference to League 1.
At the new level, Phil Parkinson's boys started by hosting Wycombe. And won a 3-2 shootout at home. They scored twice and Sheffield United in the League Cup, but the recent APL participant responded with four goals of their own.
Interesting facts and head-to-head encounters
- “Bolton” won three times in a row, however, in the League Cup - at the expense of a penalty shootout
- “Wrexham” approached the season with a series of ten matches without defeat.
- This will be the first face-to-face match between the clubs.
Bolton vs Wrexham Prediction
Bookmakers are expected to believe in the victory of the hosts. But the guests show the mood to fight with everyone - it is worth betting on “total more than 2.5 goals” (odds - 1.86).
