Bolton Wanderers – 1.36
(A) at Exeter City (PPG at home = 1.67), (H) vs Wycombe (PPG away = 0.88), (A) at Rotherham (PPG at home = 1.25), (H) vs Doncaster (PPG away = 1.00), (A) at Port Vale (PPG at home = 0.73), (H) vs Stevenage (PPG away = 1.06), (A) at Plymouth (PPG at home = 1.24), (H) vs Stockport (PPG away = 1.67), (A) at Cardiff City (PPG at home = 2.53), (H) vs Huddersfield (PPG away = 1.00), (A) at Bradford (PPG at home = 2.38), (H) vs Luton Town (PPG away = 0.88)
The run-in might not look great for Bolton, but on paper at least, it’s not as tough as ours. Their next five matches should bring maximum points, keeping the pressure on us. Just look at it, Wycombe, who are terrible away from home, Rotherham, who are terrible, relegation fodder Doncaster at the Toughsheet and Port Vale, who will be League Two next season.
The next five matches are where they need to make up points, because their average for the last five games is 1.69, justifiably a tough run-in. Also, the situation will matter, will Luton need something on the last day?
Nice analysis, would be nice to see the prediction being slightly wrong and us nicking it though. Even better if we give Cardiff a good beating and we both finish on 91 points with us edging it on goal difference!
BTW sometimes it is better to be promoted second and then we still have the fight and less complacency in the next season. It is amazing to see how many champions struggle, while second placed teams go on to thrive!
I don’t know if there could be anything in it, but perhaps it’s best not to be top too soon. Most fans will look at Cardiff as a bigger game than us right now. But you would expect the clubs to utterly professional as they approach each game. I wonder if it influences the players though?
