Bristol City will be out to secure their first EFL Championship win since September when they visit the Toughsheet Community Stadium to face Bolton Wanderers on Saturday. Steven Schumacher’s men are unbeaten in their last four home games against the Robins and will look to extend this impressive 14-year streak.
What seemed like a resurgent spell has started to unravel for Bolton Wanderers, with the Trotters suffering a 5-1 hammering against Middlesbrough at the Toughsheet Community Stadium last Friday.
Thanks for the submission!
The Trotters have failed to win their last two matches, claiming one point from the last six available, having secured victories over Cardiff City, Norwich City and Wolverhampton Wanderers in three of the four matches preceding this run.
Bolton have picked up four wins and two draws from their 12 Championship matches so far to collect 14 points and sit 18th in the league standings, but a win could see them surge into 12th place this weekend.
On the other hand, Bristol City failed to arrest their slump in form as they played out a goalless draw with Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium last Saturday.
The Robins have gone four consecutive games without a win, picking up two points from a possible 12 since scraping a 1-0 victory over Watford at the Ashton Gate Stadium on September 18.
Bristol City have picked up 15 points from their 12 Championship matches so far to sit 14th in the league standings, but they could rise level on points with 10th-placed Blackburn with a win at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.
