Bolton Wanderers, Recent FormBolton Wanderers head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 3-1 home win against Fleetwood Town in their last league encounter.
Their boss Ian Evatt has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 4 goals conceded across those matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 5 league games.
Victor Adeboyejo will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Bolton Wanderers.
Wigan Athletic, Recent FormWigan Athletic will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Carlisle United, which ran out a 1-1 draw.
Manager Shaun Maloney will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Wigan Athletic, Charlie Wyke will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
The Latics will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Bolton having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 12 meetings. When Wigan are away to The Trotters in the league, they know how to find the net, with 6 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2 per game.
Wigan have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Bolton in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 5 meetings.
With no real injury worries, Bolton manager Ian Evatt will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Wigan manager Shaun Maloney ahead of this clash, with Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Maloney a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
