Bolton Wanderers will play in this match coming off the back of a 1-1 League Two draw against Exeter City.
For Bolton Wanderers, the scorers were Ricardo Santos (62' Own goal) and Arthur Gnahoua (73').
It’s been a rare occasion in recent games that Bolton Wanderers have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that The Trotters have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 10 goals in the process.
Going into this encounter, Bolton Wanderers are without a win at home for the past 3 matches in the league.
Cheltenham Town
DLLDDW
Cheltenham Town come into this meeting following a 2-1 FA Cup win to defeat Mansfield Town in their last match.
In that match, Cheltenham Town had 59% possession and 23 shots on goal with 6 on target. For Cheltenham Town, the goalscorers were Alfie May (73') and William Boyle (110'). On the other side, Mansfield Town had 7 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Stephen McLaughlin (3') was the scorer for Mansfield Town.
It is worth noting that Cheltenham Town have made hard work of scoring goals over their previous six games, recording the disappointing return of just 3. In those fixtures, The Robins have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 6. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, of course.
Coming into this clash, Cheltenham Town have not won away from home in their last 3 league matches.
