History of the Bolton Wanderers v Middlesbrough fixture

Bolton Wdrs. prepare to entertain Middlesbrough at Reebok Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Trotters are clearly on top, having won 33 and lost only 6 of the 54 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Reebok Stadium was just last season, in September 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
