Bolton Wanderers will host Mansfield Town on December 30th at 03:45 in a League One match. Bolton, known for their strong home form, currently sit fourth in the standings with 37 points after 21 rounds, comfortably within the promotion play-off zone. They have an impressive home record of 8 wins and 3 draws from 11 matches, remaining unbeaten. Their attack has been potent, scoring 22 goals while conceding only 6 at home. Bolton's recent form has improved, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 5 matches. Key players include forward Charles (8 goals, 4 assists), whose link-up play with the wingers is crucial, and they score a significant 30% of their goals from set pieces. However, the suspension of key midfielder Morley could impact their midfield organization and defensive capabilities. Mansfield Town are currently in 17th place with 26 points, 9 points clear of the relegation zone, which eases their relegation concerns. Their away form has been weaker, with 3 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses in 11 away games, conceding 16 goals. Their recent away attacking efficiency is poor, scoring only 1 goal in their last 3 away matches. The absence of injured forward Harris has weakened their finishing ability, and defender Powell is doubtful. They are likely to employ a 5-4-1 defensive counter-attacking formation, relying on midfielder McLoughlin's distribution and wing play. However, they will face a stern test against Bolton's high-pressure attacking style. In their recent head-to-head history, Bolton has a slight advantage with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in the last 6 encounters, although Mansfield won their most recent meeting, potentially giving them a psychological edge. 03:45 League One Bolton Wanderers vs Mansfield Town Over 2.75 goals.
