Prediction

Bolton Wanderers 0-2 West Ham United

West Ham have more quality and better recent form. Bolton’s defensive fragility and lack of goals make it difficult for them to get a result against a side that has scored freely in recent games. Expect the visitors to control the match and secure a comfortable away win.
