Brewers Brewing Up Good Form Ahead of Bolton Test
Burton Albion are looking pretty decent as they prepare to welcome Bolton Wanderers to town on March 8, 2025. The Brewers have been on a bit of a roll lately, winning five of their last ten matches with just two losses thrown in. Not bad at all! Gary Bowyer's men have been particularly solid at home too, going unbeaten in their last four matches at their own patch with two wins and two draws.Their attacking prowess has been something to behold recently. Burton have netted 14 times in their last ten games while conceding 12. At home, they've been even more prolific with 9 goals in just four matches. Remember that crazy 4-2 win against Rotherham back in January? Or the thriller against Reading that ended 3-2? Those games showed what this Burton side can do when they're firing on all cylinders.The Brewers have picked up some impressive away wins too, beating Lincoln and Stevenage by identical 1-0 scorelines in February. Can they keep this momentum going against a strong Bolton side? We'll find out soon enough.

Wanderers Finding Their Way on the Road
Bolton come into this one with some pretty impressive stats of their own. Six wins from their last ten matches gives them a slight edge over Burton in recent form. They've been banging in the goals too, with 17 scored and 12 conceded in that run.Their away form has been a bit more hit-and-miss though. Two wins, one draw, and two losses from their last five road trips isn't terrible, but it's not amazing either. The good news for Wanderers fans is that their team has been tight at the back when traveling, with just four goals conceded in those five away days.Steven Schumacher must be pleased with his team's recent performances. They're coming off a confidence-boosting 3-1 home win against Birmingham, and they've shown they can get the job done away from home with victories at Shrewsbury and Huddersfield. Will they add Burton to that list? The bookies seem to think there's a decent chance, giving Bolton a 46.6% chance of victory compared to Burton's 27.4%.
History Favors the Home Side
If we're talking history, Burton holds the edge in this fixture. They've won five of the previous matchups compared to Bolton's three, with four draws splitting the difference. The Brewers have outscored the Wanderers overall too, netting 17 goals to Bolton's 13 in their head-to-head clashes.But here's the thing – recent history favors Bolton. They won the most recent meeting between these sides back in October, securing a 2-1 victory on their home turf. Will that give them a psychological edge? Or will Burton be hungry for revenge?One interesting wrinkle to this matchup is how the teams handle being favorites. Burton has only been favored in 20% of their recent matches and has lived up to that billing half the time. Bolton, meanwhile, has been the favorite much more often (60% of matches) and has delivered wins 66.67% of the time when expected to do so. Does that matter for this game? Maybe, maybe not. But it's food for thought!

Derby Day Expectations
So what can we expect when these two clash on March 8? Well, both teams certainly know how to find the back of the net. Burton have been particularly potent at home lately, while Bolton have shown they can score anywhere.The home advantage could be crucial for Burton. They haven't lost at home in their last four games, which gives them a solid foundation. But Bolton are no pushovers on the road, having picked up points in three of their last five away days.Could we see some late drama? Bolton have shown they can snatch points at the death, grabbing a last-minute equalizer against Cambridge United back in January. That kind of resilience could be crucial in what promises to be a tight contest.Whether you're a Brewers fan or a Wanderers supporter, this League One clash has all the ingredients for an entertaining afternoon of football. With both teams in decent form and with plenty to play for, don't be surprised if this one goes right down to the wire. The last meeting produced three goals – will we see more of the same this time around?
