Bolton Wanderers have shown a mixed form this season, with an average of 33 matches played, scoring 1.58 goals per game and conceding 1.48. Their offensive play is highlighted by a 63.64% over 2.5 goals rate, indicating a tendency for high-scoring games. However, their defense has been shaky, with an expected goals against of 1.29. Birmingham City, on the other hand, have been more consistent, with a strong defensive record, conceding only 0.59 goals per game. Their possession-based style, averaging 64.19% possession, allows them to control the game effectively. Head-to-head, Birmingham City holds a slight advantage, with their superior passing accuracy and defensive solidity. Bolton's key to success will be breaking down Birmingham's defense, while Birmingham will aim to exploit Bolton's defensive vulnerabilities.
