Wolves' Form: Tight Games, Tight Margins
Wolves have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last five games. Their recent results:
- 10 Oct: Middlesbrough 1-0 Wolves (loss)
- 20 Sep: Wolves 1-0 West Bromwich Albion (win)
- 13 Sep: Sheffield United 0-1 Wolves (win)
- 6 Sep: Birmingham City 2-2 Wolves (draw)
- 1 Sep: West Ham United 4-2 Wolves (loss)
The pattern is clear: Wolves have been winning and losing by the odd goal, with 1-0 results featuring heavily. Having beaten Sheffield United and West Brom 1-0 each, they've shown they can grind out wins, but the defeat at the Riverside was a reminder of how fine the margins are. You can revisit the Middlesbrough vs Wolves report for more detail.
Bolton's Form: Goals at Both Ends
Bolton have also won 2 and lost 3 of their last five, and their recent results are far more open:
- 10 Oct: Bolton 1-2 Stoke City (loss)
- 20 Sep: Norwich City 3-4 Bolton (win)
- 12 Sep: Bolton 1-0 Cardiff City (win)
- 8 Sep: Bolton 2-3 West Ham United (loss)
- 5 Sep: Millwall 4-0 Bolton (loss)
Bolton have scored 12 and conceded 17 this season, and their last five matches have produced plenty of goals. They're capable of winning a shootout, as the 4-3 victory at Norwich showed, but their defence has been exposed. Against Stoke, the visitors took the lead through Lamine Cissé just before half-time in the Stoke goal highlight. Read the full Bolton vs Stoke result for more.
Key Questions for This Match
- Can Wolves recover from the Middlesbrough defeat? A home win would put them back on track for the top six.
- Can Bolton tighten up at the back? Conceding 17 in nine games is the biggest obstacle to climbing the table.
- Will it be tight or open? Wolves' recent games have been low-scoring, while Bolton's have produced goals, so this match could go either way.
- Does Wolves' game in hand matter? With one fewer game played, they have the chance to climb further.
What This Means for the Table
- A Wolves win would take them to 17 points, level with third-placed Southampton and into the top four.
- A Bolton win would lift them to 13 points, level with Charlton Athletic and further from the bottom three.
- A draw would give Wolves 15 points and Bolton 11, which suits neither side's ambitions.
The Championship is tightly packed, with several teams on similar points in the middle of the table, so every result can shift positions.
