Bolton sit 21st and Cardiff sit 22nd in the Championship 2026/2027 table after both teams have picked up four and three points respectively from five games and so Saturday's clash at Toughsheet Community Stadium, England could be a bottom battle.
Bolton
- Bolton have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five Championship 2026/2027 games.
- The Trotters have four points from five league games and will feel the need for a response after a three-game losing streak.
- Bolton have lost back-to-back away games to Sheffield United (3-2) and Millwall (4-0), and they will need to turn it around if they are to stay out of trouble.
Cardiff
- Cardiff have drawn two and lost three of their last five Championship 2026/2027 matches.
- The Bluebirds are also coming off back-to-back losses with Cardiff falling 2-1 at Queens Park Rangers before losing 2-0 at Portsmouth in the previous week.
Bolton
The hosts do the heavy lifting with possession and overloads so the onus will be on Sam Dalby to finish the chances when they play patiently and break shape in the final third.
Cardiff
Cian Ashford is Cardiff's top scorer with two goals from his five appearances in the Championship 2026/2027 and he has scored two of the last six.

- Both teams to score bet is live at 1.55 while over 2.5 goals is available at 1.65.

Prediction
- We're taking the chance to take the away side here, but this looks like a toss-up as both sides have been poor this season.
- It looks like the Welsh side could nick something in this game and they are our pick to edge out a very average Bolton side.
