A home victory looks to be the best Arsenal vs. Bolton prediction for this EFL Cup tie on Wednesday.

Mikel Arteta will likely make sweeping changes to the team following a 2-2 draw at Man City on Sunday, but the Gunners will remain heavy favorites in the betting.

Bolton have made a slow start to their League One campaign, winning just twice in six outings.

Before Betting

One of the big arguments against the progression made under Mikel Arteta at the Emirates centers around the fact that the Spaniard is yet to win major silverware with his team.

However, the Gunners could put that right in the EFL Cup this term, as they are among the front-runners to win the domestic honor.

Arsenal come into this showdown against Bolton hot on the heels of their 2-2 draw at the Etihad against Man City.

The Gunners haven’t reached an EFL Cup final since losing at Wembley in 2018. Meanwhile, they have exited in the fourth round in two of the last five seasons. In fact, they haven’t reached the final four since the 2021-22 season.

Bolton will be massive outsiders this week. The League One side have made a slow start to the campaign after winning just twice, and losing on three occasions.

This week marks their first appearance in the third round of the competition since 2017-18. They have exited the tournament in the second round in each of the last three seasons.

However, they haven’t progressed past the third round since 2011-12, which was their final campaign as a Premier League outfit.

Arsenal vs. Bolton Prediction

This will be a daunting prospect for Bolton on Wednesday. Arsenal will make a vast number of changes to their team for this tie.

But, we still expect them to have more than enough quality to cover the spread at Emirates.
