Bolton come into this one in good spirits, having won three of their last five matches, including a pair of away wins. Their only recent stumble was a narrow loss, and they followed it with a solid scoreless draw. Portsmouth have been more up and down, winning their most recent game but losing two of their previous four, so they look a little less settled right now.

These two sides have met plenty of times in recent years, and the games have often been low-scoring and tight, with several ending one-goal apart or level. That makes this look like a close, cagey match rather than an open shootout. Given Bolton's stronger run of results and the fact they're at home, Bolton looks the more likely winner, though a draw wouldn't be a big surprise.
