Huddersfield vs Bolton Prediction: Another tough road trip for the Trotters

Huddersfield Town and Bolton Wanderers both have ambitions of getting promoted from League 1 and returning to the Championship. They sit seventh and ninth respectively at the moment and they have work to do if they wish to climb up the table. They meet at Accu Stadium on Thursday (20:00 BST, Sky Sports Main Event).

Below you will find my Huddersfield vs Bolton predictions, featured alongside the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Huddersfield are set to be without the services of Jack Whatmough (calf), Herbie Kane (groin), Marcus McGuane (groin), Radinio Balker (ankle), Will Alves (foot) and Zepiqueno Redmond (knee) due to injury, while Antony Evans and Mickel Miller will be assessed having made progress in recuperation from their respective knee and hamstring problems.

Boss Lee Grant is unlikely to make too many changes on Thursday, but the likes of Lynden Gooch, Joe Taylor and Bojan Radulovic will be knocking on Grant's door for a place in the team.

Taylor is the Terriers' leading marksman so far this season with five goals, but he is without one in his previous four appearances in the third tier.

Football Odds

Jordi Osei-Tutu and Will Forrester have stepped up their recoveries from injury and are nearing a return for Bolton, but it remains to be seen whether Thursday will come too soon for the pair.

Mason Burstow is the top scorer in the division with seven goals, and the Hull City loanee has enjoyed a strong start to life at Bolton. However, just one of his goals have come away from home.

Josh Dacres-Cogley should be fit to return to the side on the right side of the defence, replacing Cyrus Christie.

Today's Football Fixtures

Huddersfield vs Bolton Odds

Huddersfield have won four of their six home games in the third tier in 2025/26, and they are 13/8 (implied probability of 38.1%) to prevail here. Bolton are also yet to win on their travels.

The Trotters are 6/4 to overcome this hurdle while the stalemate is valued at 9/4.

Seven of the visitors' 12 matches in the league this term have produced goals at both ends, and BTTS Yes is priced at 8/13 for Thursday night.

Bolton striker Burstow is the 13/8 favourite to score anytime.

Double Chance - Huddersfield or draw and over 1.5 goals @ 19/20

Huddersfield's performance in their home defeat to Stockport before the international break was sub-par, so the Terriers need to show improvements on Thursday, especially against a side who share their promotion ambitions.

They have largely been strong on home turf, though, winning four of their six encounters at the Accu Stadium to date. It also helps that Bolton have not been strong travellers so far this campaign, having failed to win any of their six fixtures away from home.

The Trotters have lost their past two away contests in League 1 and they will face another tough road trip to Huddersfield. The Terriers are not as strong a force as many would have pegged them to be at this stage of the season, so the visitors may be sensing an opportunity, but I do think the best they can hope for is a point.

Double chance in the hosts' favour appeals to me here because I think even if there is no drastic improvement from the Stockport defeat, Bolton's dismal away record gives the Terriers a huge advantage.

The selection is boosted by over 1.5 goals, which has been a successful bet in all 12 of Bolton's league games in 2025/26.

Both teams to score Yes @ 8/13

Neither defence fills me with confidence. Huddersfield have shipped 13 goals in 11 games so far, while Bolton have let in 14 in 12 matches. I think we could be set to witness goals at both ends in West Yorkshire, with Bolton ranking sixth for this statistic in the third tier at the time of writing.

This has been a successful bet in 58% (7/12) of their fixtures to date. For Huddersfield, BTTS has struck in five of their 11 contests in League 1. The two sides have also scored 33 league goals between them, so there is going to be a lot of attacking talent on display.
