Accrington Team News
Accrington Stanley is struggling this season in League One (3rd tier). They are in League One since 2018 and every season they stay in the league comfortably now they are a point and a place above the relegation zone.
The thing with Accrington is that they are a small club with a very small budget. Probably the smallest in the league. They were in the 7th tier and promoted to the 3rd tier. They usually buy players from lower leagues or take some young players on loan from the Premier League clubs. And that’s how they operate.
This season they didn’t sign good players, miss with a lot of them, and lose a couple of key players from the last season. Because of that they are 20th on the table.
Accrington has two wins in the last eight games in all competitions. The league they have two wins in the last 11 games and they are in one of the worst forms in the league.
They scored only 26 goals and only two clubs scored fewer than them with 47 goals conceded they have one of the worst defensive records in the league.
In the last 10 games, they have had four clean sheets and failed to score in three games.
Bolton Team News
Since that terrible season in 2019/20 and relegation from League One, Bolton is making a progress every season in the last three years. With manager Ian Evatt they won promotion from League Two in 2021, last season they were 9th in League One, and now they go a step further and currently are in 4th place in the table.
Everyone in Bolton are doing an incredible job in the last three years. They are signing good players and it seems like they know what they are doing. Everything is well planned.
Last weekend Bolton suffered a defeat against Wycombe and they stopped their run of five league wins. They suffered only two defeats in the last 15 games in all competitions.
Bolton conceded only 24 goals this season and only Sheffield Wednesday has a better defensive record in League One. Wanderers also has 17 clean sheets, the second-most in the league.

Accrington vs Bolton Prediction
The stake is huge. This is a cup competition for the clubs from the 3rd and 4th tiers in English football and a great opportunity to make a trip to Wembley.
An interesting fact – Accrington Stanley is one of only a few clubs in England’s professional football that never played at Wembley Stadium. Bolton did that in 2011.
The winner of this tie will go into EFL Trophy final which will be a great chance to win some trophies. We believe that Bolton has the bigger chance of doing that because they are very good recently and this season in general.
