Arsenal vs Bolton Prediction: 25/9/2024

Bolton have struggled significantly in their recent top-flight away matches, conceding ten goals across their last four games without securing a single point. In contrast, Arsenal have enjoyed success at home, winning 10 of their last 14 matches in this elite competition, while also managing to keep six consecutive clean sheets.

During this EFL Cup campaign, Arsenal have hosted 16 matches, with 11 of those encounters featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. Similarly, Bolton’s last 12 away games at this level have also seen no more than two goals in 10 instances, suggesting a low-scoring match is likely when these two teams face off at Arsenal’s stadium.

Arsenal haven’t been involved in many high-scoring affairs lately, as only three of their last 12 EFL Cup games have seen both teams find the back of the net. This trend aligns with Bolton’s recent form, with 10 of their last 12 away games featuring at least one team keeping a clean sheet. Therefore, it’s unlikely both sides will score in this encounter.

 

Prediction

In a highly competitive promotion race, Arsenal have surged to the top of the EFL Cup standings with eight wins in their last nine matches, including five home victories. Bolton, on the other hand, have struggled on the road, losing 10 of their 13 trips in the third tier this season.

Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Bolton
