It's the second leg of the League One playoffs this week, and in the first game on Tuesday night, Bolton host Barnsley. Bolton hold a 3-1 lead after the first leg, a late goal putting them well in control of the tie. The winner goes through to Wembley, and Bolton have a two goal lead to defend.
Bolton Form GuideI don't think Bolton played anything like their best on Friday night, but they'll be thrilled to come away with such a lead, especially as they are now at home here. They took advantage of some poor Barnsley defending, and are going to get the same kind of chances here, as Barnsley are poor defensively.
The only worry I have for Bolton is how they will play. If they attack, they will get chances against Barnsley. But they may choose not to, instead sitting back and defending what they have. I hope they don't because that could prove to be a dangerous tactic.
Barnsley Form GuideBarnsley have to go away from home, and two goals down, their task is tough. The biggest issue they have is keeping a clean sheet, which seems an impossible task right now, but they really need one here, to have any chance of getting through, without one, it would be very tough.
They weren't over ran by Bolton on Friday, and did look the better team for parts of the game, so it's not all over for them. However, this will of course be a tough battle, they need to attack from the off, and go all out with the right mentality, if they want to have any chance of pulling off a huge comeback.
Match PredictionI can't see past Bolton making it through to Wembley for the final, and on top of that, I think they can win this one. Barnsley are struggling defensively, Bolton can take advantage of that, and win this one.
