Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
----------------------------------
Bolton Wanderers and Rotherham United are set to face off in Northern Group E of the EFL Trophy, with both sides looking to break their recent poor form. Bolton enter the match without a victory in their last five games, while Rotherham have also struggled, going six matches without a win in regular time.

Team Analysis:
Since returning to League One in 2021, Bolton Wanderers have regularly competed for promotion but have had a slow start to the 2024-25 season, sitting 14th with just one win in six games under new manager Steven Schumacher. They've also been knocked out of the EFL Cup on penalties and are currently on a run of five consecutive draws. Rotherham United, despite a strong opening win, are also struggling, going six games without a 90-minute victory under Matt Hamshaw, though they have a strong recent record against Bolton with five straight wins in this fixture.

Player Situation:
Despite Bolton's slow start to the season, striker Mason Burstow has stood out with three goals in seven games and is expected to lead the attack again, supported by a likely midfield including Cozier-Duberry, Morley, Cissoko, and Sheehan, while Erhahon may miss out due to injury. For Rotherham, Nombe is still doubtful, so Hugill may join Sherif up front, with a defensive trio of Jules, Hall, and James, and Dawson in goal.

Result Prediction:
Despite their winless streak and poor record in recent meetings, Bolton are expected to secure a victory against a Rotherham side struggling with even worse form.

Predicted Result: Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Rotherham United.
