Bolton Wanderers form and stats

Bolton Wanderers's struggle is real here at Macron Stadium with only 16 points collected from 21 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 4-4-13. Bolton Wanderers has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager P. Parkinson and the players.

The fans are hoping that Bolton Wanderers will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Championship game against Derby County. Ahead of that match, Bolton Wanderers lost 0-2 at home to Middlesbrough.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bolton Wanderers as they are travelling to their away game against Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. That match is three days after this one.
