On the 17th of February in League 1, England's third strongest division, at the "Taftshit Community" stadium, "Bolton" will play against "Charlton". Let's take a look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision that will help to increase our bank.

"Bolton"

Many are familiar with this team due to their performance in the Premier League. They are now led by Ian Evatt, thanks to whom they have climbed from League 2, and are already playing their 3rd season in the third division of England. Last year they were close to promotion to the Championship, but got defeated by "Barnsley" with a score (1:2) in the playoffs.

In the 26th round they managed to beat "Cheltenham" with a score of (1:0). In the following game they claimed victory over "Carlisle" (4:1). After that their winning streak was interrupted again, this time due to a draw with "Barnsley" (1:1). The team then played to a draw with "Northampton" (1:1). In the last round, they defeated "Wycombe" at home with a score of (2:1).

"Charlton"

A famous team who spent the early 21st century in the Premier League. Only then followed relegation to the Championship and later to League 1. Since then, "Charlton" has been alternating between League 1 and Championship, they have managed to get promoted to the second division twice in the last 10 years. Last season, the team settled for 10th place in the league table. They are currently 20th.

In the 28th round, the team suffered a defeat from "Northampton" with a score (2:3). After that, they drew with "Blackpool" (1:1). Then they lost to "Derby County" by a minimal score.

Head-to-Head

The last face-to-face battle between "Bolton" and "Charlton" was on October 28, 2023. That meeting ended with a victory for the "Wanderers" with a score of (2:0).

Prediction

"Bolton" is having a great season, and they have the best home record in the championship. It will be difficult for "Charlton" to even clutch onto a draw, considering their recent form and the fact that they are playing away. Given this, I would suggest to bet on the home team's victory.

Total Points Forecast

I think the teams will not show a high-scoring game here, so I would suggest betting on total under 2.5.
