Bolton vs Sheffield Wed Prediction & Betting Tips (13 August)

Former club muse of English football in the 1st division with in particular the Anelka era, Bolton is today very far from the big English mountain. We are talking about 3rd division this season, like last season when he has finished in eighth position. The championship has already resumed and the "Trotters" of Bolton played two games for a neutral assessment of a victory on the 2nd day last weekend against Plymouth 2-0, thus correcting their backhand on the lawn of Stockport 2-0. Like Bolton, the Sheffield Wed wrote the history of English football by winning 4 Cup, however, we are talking about the years before the First World War.

Today, this prestigious club is in the fight in Championship 2nd division to make a place in the top 6 and thus believe in a return to the Premier League. The Championship also opened its doors last weekend, and on the lawn of the relegation of PL, Leicester, The "Owls" failed to keep the point of the draw ten against eleven during the 2nd 2-1 defeat act. 

During the success in the league last weekend against Plymouth, no less than five players stayed at home due to physical injury. We think of Sam Dalby (ex-Dundee) and Richard Taylor recruits (ex-St.mirren). Indisputable holder at the heart of the William Forrester defensive line should throw in the towel for today, ditto for Victor Adeboyejo (3 league goals last season) and for Kyle Dempsey (3 achievements, 2 championship assists last season). During the transfer window, Bolton lost his offensive vathers Aaron Collins (12 pawns) who left for the Milton Keynes and the young midfielder George Thomason (4 goals, 3 assists). Opposite, spent by Bolton for a season for a season over ten years now, Barry Bannan (35) has received a red card in the league but that should not prevent him from playing this game of EFL Cup. The latter played no less than 41 Championship games last year for a balance sheet of 4 goals supplement 5 assists.

Arrived free from Manchester United in 2023 where he never managed to make his hole there, the Jamaican Di-Shon Bernard remains injured and will not play today. Boys injured at the end of last season have just returned to competition. We especially think of Dominic Iorfa and Max Lowe. On the other hand, the Spanish defender Polité Valentin left the ship during the transfer window like the prolific Josh Windass (13 goals, 5 assists) who went to join the Wrexham project, a Welsh club evolving in Championship following its promotion of League One. They are not the only ones to have taken their baluchon since Michael Smith (8 achievements, 4 assists) joined Preston, the Tricolore Gassama (7 goals) joined the Rangers, Callum Paterson (6 goals) signed on the side of the Milton Keynes and Anthony Musaba (24, 3 goals, 6 offerings). 

• Summary: Bolton Wanderers is going head to head with Sheffield Wednesday starting on 13 Aug 2025 at 18:45 UTC at Toughsheet Community Stadium stadium, Horwich city, England. The match is a part of the EFL Cup .
