Bolton Vs Shrewsbury: Match Preview

Bolton have the opportunity to close the gap to one point on second-placed Derby with two games remaining as the Whites host Shrewsbury. 

With Saturday’s draw at Portsmouth effectively sealing Pompey’s ascent to the second tier, Bolton and Derby have been neck-and-neck for weeks on end for the final automatic promotion spot, but anything other than a victory would leave Ian Evatt’s men with a huge uphill task and their face entirely out of their hands. 

Although unlikely, Shrewsbury could drop into relegation worry amid a huge swing of results.

against them and them picking up little to no points; however, to experience breathing space, a result in tomorrow’s clash would be handy. 

The form table favours the Whites, who still have championship football hanging firmly in the balance; however, with the finish line nearing and teams having to use their ultimate grit and determination in order to try and grind out results, form is immaterial. 

Bolton have only tasted defeat twice to Shrewsbury in their last ten meetings, both coming at the Meadow, so they’ll be hoping to keep up their good run against the Shropshire outfit in order to keep the heat on 2nd place.
