Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest we don't have an obvious winner for this clash, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Barnsley and Bolton will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Neill Collins or Ian Evatt has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.22 equating to roughly a 79% probability.
