• Bolton Wanderers slumped to a surprising 4-1 loss after going unbeaten in five consecutive matches.

Wigan have the better H2H between the two teams with 4 wins in the last ten meetings between the two. They have in the last 7 clashes remained unbeaten against Bolton.

However, with the different forms of the two teams, Bolton might seize the opportunity to add to their tally of wins against  Wigan.
