Bolton Wanderers vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa will travel to Macron Stadium, the headquarters of Bolton Wanderers at the English League Championship this weekend. Aston Villa has an ambition to continue to maintain their consistency to continue in the promotion playoff zone.
Aston Villa performed very well in their last few games. Apart from being unbeaten in the last 8 matches at the ELC, Aston Villa also won the last 7 matches. The series of victories made Aston Villa’s position in the playoff zone even stronger. Sitting in 5th place with 69 points, Aston Villa is now 5 points in 7th place.
Aston Villa must maintain their consistency considering that in the remaining 4 weeks, their points can still be surpassed by Middlesbrough. To continue to finish in the top 6, Aston Villa only needs 2 more wins.
On the other hand, this match is like the final match for Bolton. Bolton, who is currently ranked 23rd or the second lowest position in the ELC standings with a score of 32 points, need a victory to keep the opportunity out of the relegation zone. Bolton’s chances of getting out of the red zone will still be there if they are able to win in this match, and even then with the record Wigan Athletic suffered a defeat at the headquarters of Leeds United. Bolton themselves are currently 10 points adrift of Wigan in the last safe zone.
However, Bolton’s mission to get out of the relegation zone will be very difficult. Moreover, if you see their performance lately they have not improved. Bolton suffered defeat in their last 3 games. Bolton were also only able to win 1 victory in the last 6 matches and the rest ended in defeat.
Seeing the facts above, Aston Villa will be the winner in this match. However, Bolton’s ambition to continue to keep their chances out of the relegation zone could be a stumbling block for Aston Villa. That way, Aston Villa abstinence to underestimate Bolton who will appear before his own public.

Odds: 1.38
