Recent respective form guides
Bolton Wanderers have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 8 to 7.
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 4 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Bolton Wdrs. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 3 points from their 4 games thus far. Stoke City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Barclays Premier League, picking up 7 from their 5 games so far.
