In the last few weeks, Bolton has been playing very well and they are taking sure steps towards maintaining the position that at the moment ensures their participation in the play offs at the end of the season. Considering that they have 6 points advantage and two games more than the first team that is outside that zone, they really found their form at the right moment and have no room to relax. Similar to the Championship, League One is full of teams of similar quality and the smallest details can decide the final ranking in the table. In a very tense match in the last league game, Bolton lost to a very good Wycombe, their first defeat after 5 consecutive wins. But the proof that the team has a winning mentality was the victory in the semi-final of the EFL Cup against Accrington. In the final, they will have the opportunity to win a significant trophy after more than 60 years, and it is understandable that the mood in the team is at a high level. Due to the great results in the last matches, there are enough reasons for optimism in Bolton before this match. Before the aforementioned defeat at Wycombe, they had three wins without conceding a goal, the ones against MK Dons and Peterborough being particularly impressive, both by the same scoreline of 5-0. They have a very good offensive potential, and they can boast of a very good defense, especially when it comes to home games. In their last 11 consecutive home matches of all competitions, there have been no losses for Bolton. When we look a little further into history, Bolton haven't lost in 32 of their last 37 home games in all competitions. They conceded the last goal at home in December of last year, and since then they have played 9 games in which they have managed to keep a clean sheet. It is without a doubt a success in any respect, regardless of the league. They have really turned their stadium into an impregnable fortress and Port Vale, who are not known as a particularly efficient team, will have a lot of trouble trying to get a positive result in this match.

Port Vale is a team that is in the middle of the table and they are not in danger of fighting for survival, and the games they show throughout the season show that this team does not have enough quality to get involved in the fight for the play offs. According to the points, at the moment they are closer to the danger zone than the play offs, but I think they have enough quality to bring the season to a carefree end. Recently, they have been playing quite erratically and with the result of 6 losses, two draws and only two wins in the last 10 games, they can be satisfied with their position in the table. One of those victories was achieved against Forest Green, a team that will definitely compete in the lower league starting next season. They cannot boast of a particularly good game in defense, in the last 6 games they did not concede a goal in only one. There is little chance that Bolton will win this match with a large number of goals, but at the moment they are a much better team than the guests. The momentum is certainly on their side and considering the way they play at home, I really think that Bolton to win this match is a very reasonable bet.

在过去的几周里，博尔顿踢得非常好，他们正在采取措施来保持目前的位置，以确保他们在赛季结束后参加附加赛。考虑到他们有6分的优势，比禁区外的一队多两场比赛，他们真的在合适的时候找到了自己的状态，没有放松的空间。与英冠联赛类似，英甲联赛也有很多实力相当的球队，最微小的细节都能决定最终的排名。在上一场非常紧张的联赛中，博尔顿输给了非常出色的维康比，这是他们5连胜后的首败。但证明球队拥有胜利心态的证据是在EFL杯半决赛对阵阿克林顿的胜利。在决赛中，他们将有机会在60多年后赢得一个重要的奖杯，球队的情绪处于高水平是可以理解的。由于上一场比赛的出色表现，博尔顿在这场比赛前有足够的理由保持乐观。在前面提到的输给维康比之前，他们取得了三场胜利，没有丢球，对MK顿斯和彼得伯勒的比赛尤其令人印象深刻，两场比赛的比分都是5-0。他们有很好的进攻潜力，他们也有很好的防守，尤其是在主场比赛的时候。在最近11个连续的主场比赛中，博尔顿没有输过任何比赛。当我们进一步回顾历史时，博尔顿在过去的37个主场比赛中有32个没有输球。他们上一次在主场丢球是在去年12月，从那以后，他们已经有9场比赛保持零封。毫无疑问，无论在哪个联盟，这都是一次成功。他们真的把自己的球场变成了一个坚不可摧的堡垒，而瓦尔港队，这支不是特别高效的球队，在这场比赛中想要取得一个积极的结果将会遇到很多麻烦。

瓦尔港是一支处于积分榜中游的球队，他们没有为生存而战的危险，他们在整个赛季的比赛中表现出这支球队没有足够的实力来参与附加赛的争夺。根据积分，目前他们比附加赛更接近危险地带，但我认为他们有足够的实力让这个赛季无忧无虑地结束。最近，他们的表现相当不稳定，在过去的10场比赛中，他们取得了6负2平2胜的成绩，他们可以对自己的排名感到满意。其中一场胜利是对阵Forest Green，这支球队从下赛季开始肯定会参加低级别联赛。他们不能吹嘘自己有一场特别出色的防守，在过去的6场比赛中，他们只有一场没有失球。博尔顿以大量进球赢得这场比赛的可能性很小，但目前他们比客队强得多。势头当然对他们有利，考虑到他们在主场的表现，我真的认为博尔顿赢得这场比赛是一个非常合理的赌注。
