The Bolton Wanderers & Peterborough United head coaches Evatt and Ferguson are both worrying about and eagerly anticipating this vital fixture in the top part of the League One league table.
- Bolton Wanderers have the most scored goals in the first half (9) in League One
- Peterborough United have the most dropped points from leading position (8) in League One
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a League One game only four days ago.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
The story so far in the League One for Bolton Wanderers at their home stadium (University of Bolton Stadium) is 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
No payout for Bolton Wanderers in their previous match, an away game at Reading that ended in defeat 1-2. Attacking player Charles outshone all teammates in that match and managed a match rating of 7.64 out of 10. Charles scored one goal and hit one key pass.
A victory at home ahead of that game, as expected. The team were solid favourites against Salford City and won 3-0. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bolton Wanderers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won 10 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Manchester United U21 are coming to town in three days.
With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Wanderers defense is not exactly impregnable. 6 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Peterborough United form and stats
The visitors are W2-D0-L2 on the road this term. That's in the League One.
The regulars enjoyed Peterborough United's previous match versus Cheltenham Town (placed 24th), a 3-0 win played at home. That victory felt good as this team had gone four league fixtures without winning. Burrows was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.74. The defender Burrows scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and won 4 of 13 duels.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Leyton Orient.Peterborough United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Carabao Cup trip to Mansfield Town.
Peterborough United have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 5 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Peterborough have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the previous eight meetings featuring these two contenders are: five wins for Bolton Wanderers, zero draws and three wins for Peterborough United. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
