Footymad preview History of the Watford v Bolton Wanderers fixture

Bolton Wanderers face a trip to Watford at Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Trotters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 7 and win only 2 of the 13 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vicarage Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2013, the Hornets carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Championship match.
