Recent respective form guides

Leeds United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Whites have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Bolton W.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Trotters have hit 4 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Leeds Utd. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 12 games have yielded only 8 points. Bolton W. find themselves struggling down in 14th position in the league having picked up 12 points from their 12 matches.
