Recent respective form guides
Bolton Wanderers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Trotters have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Reading's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Bolton Wdrs. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 3 games have yielded only 0 points. Reading's 4 points from 3 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
