Huddersfield take on the visitors Bolton in the round 13 match English League One. The match will be played on Thursday, October 16th at John Smith's Stadium (Huddersfield).
Huddersfield were once among the early giants of British football — though that was in the previous century. More recently, under David Wagner, they managed to make headlines again by earning promotion to the Premier League and even surviving there for a second season. However, what followed was a rapid decline. Having fallen to the third tier, this once-prominent club no longer stands out even at that level. Last season in League One, they collected 64 points — only enough to finish 10th in the final table. This season began brightly with a couple of wins, and they also impressed in the EFL Cup, eliminating Leicester and Sunderland (both on penalties after draws), before bowing out honorably away to Manchester City. But in the league, their form has dipped — with too many draws and an increasing number of losses. The team’s defense has been leaking goals in recent weeks, and their attacking play looks disjointed. Despite glimpses of potential, consistency remains Huddersfield’s biggest problem under manager Michael Duff.

Bolton haven’t been impressive for a long time either. The Whites were never true heavyweights, but under Sam Allardyce they were respected as a solid Premier League mid-table side. After ownership and managerial changes, however, the decline began. Since then, the club has experienced ups and downs, including several near misses in promotion races. In the 2024/25 campaign, they earned 68 points — good enough only for 8th in League One. This season, their performance has been similar, showing flashes of quality but struggling for stability. They were also knocked out of the EFL Cup straight away — losing to Sheffield Wednesday on penalties after a 3-3 draw. At least home form has been decent, but their latest outing was disastrous, suffering a heavy 0-3 defeat to Burton. Bolton remain strong going forward, yet their defense has been worryingly fragile away from home. The pressure is mounting on Ian Evatt to steady the ship if they want to stay in touch with the playoff zone.
Huddersfield had previously won five straight meetings, but Bolton claimed victory in the last two encounters between the sides. The visitors have looked slightly more composed lately. Back Bolton to edge past a familiar opponent with a cautious bet on “Draw No Bet.”
Prediction for the match: Bolton to win with 0.0 handicap.
