Match analysis
Bolton held on for a 2‑1 victory over Preston at home, nudging them up to 20th place with seven points from seven games – two wins, a draw and four defeats, and a modest +‑5 goal difference. Preston remain rooted at 23rd, their three points coming from a solitary win and a bleak 6‑13 tally that underscores their defensive frailties. The win widened Bolton’s edge in the head‑to‑head this season, having already taken the sole encounter between the sides. Both clubs will now turn their attention to the next round, where Bolton will hope to climb out of the relegation zone while Preston scramble for any sign of revival.
