Bolton Wanderers form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bolton Wanderers, who have the fewest scored goals (29) in Championship, so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 4-4-14 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Bolton Wanderers who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Queens Park Rangers was the last time a defeat was avoided. Bolton Wanderers has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Two away games in a row for Bolton Wanderers, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. A 0-2 loss hosting Aston Villa before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bolton Wanderers as they have only managed to score 16 times from 22 away games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bolton Wanderers have conceded 42 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
