Bolton secured playoffs but Barnsley knocked them out. This year, the Wanderers dropped to 3rd place, aiming for 2nd place. Their demanding schedule requires winning home games to secure their desired spot.

Oxford United, once a top contender, is currently in 7th place with 60 points, just one point away from the playoffs, a significant achievement given their recent relegation risk.

Victor Adeboyejo, a struggling striker, will miss the game due to injury. Aaron Collins and Jón Dadi Bödvarsson are expected to play in the front, while George Johnstone remains sidelined with a long-term injury.

Coach Des Buckingham praised Cheltenham Town’s 2:1 win after a loss against Portsmouth, stating it was a much-needed win and secured points. He uses a consistent starting eleven. No changes expected.

Predicted lineups:

Bolton Wanderers

Goalkeeper: Joel Coleman
Defenders: Eoin Toal, Ricardo Santos, Jack Iredale
