Bolton come into this match in good shape, having won three of their last five games and drawing the most recent one. Bristol City are also playing well, with three wins and a draw in their last five, but most of their wins were narrow one-goal victories and they don't score very often. Neither team has faced the other recently, so there's no history to go on between them.

Both sides look solid rather than spectacular, and their recent games have been fairly low-scoring on the whole. This makes it look like a close, cagey match rather than an open one full of goals. On balance, Bolton's stronger home form and slightly better scoring touch suggest they are the more likely winners, though a draw is very possible.
