Bolton face a trip to Newcastle United at St. James' Park on Saturday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 33 out of 48 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2003, the Magpies carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Newcastle United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Magpies have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Bolton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Trotters have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.
Newcastle are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclaycard Premiership with a return of just 2 points from their 4 games thus far. Bolton find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 5 points from their 5 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Not a lot has been going right generally for Bolton on their travels as of late, but I can certainly see them gleaning a point from their game against Newcastle. No-score draw
