Derby County have journeyed here for an intriguing duel versus the hosts Bolton Wanderers. Read up on the match with this full League One preview!
- Bolton Wanderers have the most scored goals in the first half (7) in League One
- Derby County have won all their away games so far.
These are hustling days for the hosts, as they played only four days ago in the Carabao Cup. This match was also played here at University of Bolton Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Derby County have had more rest.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
Bolton Wanderers must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three League One games here at University of Bolton Stadium.
The Wanderers club members got no joy from their last fixture, a Carabao Cup duel also played here at University of Bolton Stadium: A 1-3 defeat against Middlesbrough. The attacker Charles won the honour of being "man of the match" for Bolton Wanderers with the rating of 7.12/10. Charles scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
A 1-1 draw away in the League One before that, with Burton Albion the opponent.This is expected to be a close game, with Bolton Wanderers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bolton Wanderers as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Bolton Wanderers has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 0.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Wanderers, as the EFL Trophy home game vs Salford City is only three days away.
With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Bolton Wanderers defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Derby County form and stats
Derby County are yet to lose a point on their League One travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games.
Two trips in a row for Derby County, whose manager Warne could celebrate last time after the win against Peterborough United. As you can tell from the result, the match against Peterborough United was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Waghorn certainly enjoyed County's last game versus Peterborough United, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-2 victory. The attacker Waghorn got a match rating of 9.94 in that game. Waghorn scored three goals and hit one key pass.
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Fleetwood Town.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Derby County playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 2 Derby County wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
It's early days yet, but Derby County has scored 7 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Previous ten meetings with these contenders: Bolton Wanderers won one, Derby County triumphed in seven and we saw two draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with under 2,5 goals.
