Bolton Wanderers hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 7 points and a 23rd position in the League One table. Visiting Bristol Rovers holds 13th place with 37 pts.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the League One.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
3-6-4 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Bolton Wanderers so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Bolton Wanderers with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Shrewsbury Town game, 30 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Bolton Wanderers, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Bolton Wanderers fans got no joy from their last match, a League One game also here at Macron Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Portsmouth (placed 8th). Heartbreak before that as Bolton Wanderers lost 1-5 at Lincoln City's place.
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 six games. Bolton Wanderers has won 3 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Tranmere Rovers in only four days. This game is also played here at Macron Stadium.
The Bolton Wanderers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 13 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.
Bristol Rovers form and stats

Bristol Rovers delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Fleetwood Town (placed 11th) in their previous match; a League One game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rotherham United wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
