It's no vacation for neither Wanderers nor Morecambe as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Bolton Wanderers have to build on here at Macron Stadium in the League Two. The Wanderers manager I. Evatt might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Bolton Wanderers lost their last game at Carlisle United (placed 3rd) after a 1-3 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Tranmere Rovers with the scoreline 0-3.
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 nine games. Wanderers has won two of these, drawn two and lost five.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Bolton Wanderers as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Crawley Town are visiting.
