Competition: League One
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet
In what is a season-defining showdown for Luton on Saturday afternoon, the Hatters will travel to Lancashire when they meet Bolton.
Starting with the hosts, while Bolton might have officially punched their play-off ticket with time to spate, the Wanderers have certainly failed to find any real stability over recent times. Eventually forced to settle for a 1-1 stalemate away at Bradford last time out, Steven Schumacher’s side have registered just a single victory from their previous five straight League One appearances. With their dominant 5-1 romp against Stevenage looking like it could have been just a rare flurry, the former Plymouth boss is also searching for some much-welcomed defensive steel ahead of their play-off adventure this month. Including a rollercoaster 3-3 draw at home against Huddersfield on April 18th, Bolton have failed to muster a single clean sheet from any of their last seven consecutive attempts. Gaining a reputation for their enjoyable outings, it should also be noted that Schumacher’s men have seen eight of their previous nine home fixtures finish with both teams finding the net.
As for the visitors, while Luton might open Saturday’s season finale sat one-point adrift of skyrocketing their way into the play-off places, they are clearly relishing life under Jack Wilshere’s guidance. Crowed EFL Trophy champions at Wembley on April 12th as they secured a famous 3-1 victory against Stockport, the former Arsenal midfielder finds the mood in his camp at a continued high. Keeping their play-off dreams alive last time out as they claimed a 2-1 win at home against Barnsley, the Hatters have remarkably registered 16 points from their previous six League One appearances. Likewise, in the midst of what has become quite the purple patch, Luton are also unbeaten in all of their last 11 matchups across all competitions (eight wins, three draws). With that run stemming back to a lively 3-2 loss at home against Reading back on March 7th, we are expecting an enjoyable season finale from Lancashire this weekend.
