Bolton vs Aston Villa U21 prediction 08.10.2024 | EFL Trophy

• Competition: EFL Trophy
• Date: Tuesday, 8th October 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Toughsheet Community Stadium (Bolton)

In the previous two years, Bolton played in the League One playoff but failed to return to the Championship. The team from Reebok Stadium probably expected more than 14 points from the first nine rounds in the 2024/25 season, but there is more than enough time to join the top teams in the division. Bolton are in good form, with two wins and one defeat in the last three matches. In the previous game, they played 2-2 at home against Shrewsbury. The home side finished the match with 75% ball possession and nine shots on the goal, more than the opponent, but failed to win all three points. 

Aston Villa U21 are playing in the Premier League 2. They are not playing well this season, as Joseph Gombau's team won only seven points in the first six matches. Aston Villa U21 won only two of the last six matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they lost 3-2 at home against Newcastle United U21. That was another match in which Aston Villa U21 showed how terrible their defense is. 

Bolton vs Aston Villa U21 pick: Over 3.5 goals

Both these teams are usually playing high-scoring matches. There were four or more goals in six of the last seven games. On the other hand, have four of the previous five with four or more goals. We should expect a high-scoring game between Bolton and Aston Villa U21 on Tuesday night at Reebok Stadium.
