Bolton Wanderers hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 20th position in the League Two table. Visiting Salford City holds 10th place with 16 pts.
The visiting Salford City played their last game only three days ago, a EFL Trophy match. That game, against Rochdale, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Salford City.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League Two this season. Bolton Wanderers have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses from their games here at Macron Stadium.
The Wanderers fans got no joy from their last match, a FA Cup game also here at Macron Stadium: A 2-3 defeat against Crewe Alexandra. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Mansfield Town that ended 1-1.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Newcastle United U21 are coming to town in four days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Wanderers means that they have only scored 3 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Wanderers have conceded 6 in these home matches.
Salford City form and stats
2-0-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Salford City, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) away in League Two, in their League Two matches away. Salford has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
It's the second away game in a row for Salford, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Rochdale in the EFL Trophy last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Hartlepool United (after extra-time).
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager G. Alexander when E. Dieseruvwe scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute.
Salford are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 6 times in 4 away games so far. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
