Bolton Wanderers's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Trotters have scored 6, a worringly large 18 have been leaked at the other end.

Stoke City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Potters have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
