Bolton Wanderers form and stats

3-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Bolton Wanderers so far this season.

No payout for Bolton Wanderers in their previous match, an away game at Wycombe Wanderers that ended in defeat 0-1. Joel Dixon had a busy but productive day in the Wycombe Wanderers match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Goalkeeper Joel Dixon got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.42 out of ten. Dixon saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with six saves.

Prior to that, an away loss at Stockport County (after extra-time) in the FA Cup.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Wanderers's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn two and lost zero.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Wanderers as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Cheltenham Town are visiting.

Wanderers has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Wanderers defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

Doncaster Rovers have only collected 1 point from their away games in the League One, after 0-1-8 (9 played).

Doncaster Rovers's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Lincoln City that finished 0-0. Goalkeeper Louis Jones got the top player rating of the team with 7.24/10. Jones topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that game was the away EFL Trophy victory against Scunthorpe United with the score of 3-2.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Doncaster when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing four times, drawing one and winning zero games.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Burton Albion.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Doncaster's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 9 matches. Doncaster have conceded 21 goals in these games.
