How do Bolton Wanderers' chances of the play-offs compare to League One rivals

Bolton Wanderers are predicted to finish outside of the League One play-off places this season.

Ian Evatt's side currently sit seventh in the table as the third tier schedule continues throughout the Qatar World Cup. Just one point from the last two matches against Oxford United and Cambridge United will have been a significant blow for Bolton who will have aspirations of promotion to the Championship after building consistently over the past couple of seasons.

Given the level of quality within League One this campaign at the top of the table, FiveThirtyEight expect Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town to kick on another gear compared to the rest of the division and fight amongst themselves for the two automatic promotion places.

Throughout the campaign, football statistics website FiveThirtyEight is forecasting how the third tier table might finish after the results of every matchday, with the campaign reaching the climax of the regular season at the start of May before the play-offs.

Here is how they think League One will finish as things stand (14/11/2022).
