Bolton vs Port Vale tips and predictions

Bolton are hard to oppose

There's 43 points separating these two as third place Bolton get set to host 22nd place Port Vale.

Without much to go on, it's an indifferent view this one. It's hard to look beyond a home win but their short price isn't particularly tempting. It's just that Port Vale aren't likely to pose a threat to this side.

Bolton will pick holes in this Port Vale outfit. The last 19 fixtures have not all gone to plan for the away squad; they've lost 13 of them. They're likely to taste defeat again here.

The Trotters have scored at least once in all of their recent 20 home matches.

Port Vale have actually conceded two or more goals in 12 of their last 16 matches. But their problems don't seem to be only in the first-third of their formation. The Valiants have only scored once in their last 7 away games.

And when it comes to this fixture there is previous. In fact Bolton have won 7 of the last 9 fixtures between the two teams.

Perhaps the game doesn't ignite due to the favouritism for Bolton. The No BTTS could be the best bet for fans of this market.
