Match Preview
The Wanderers are going through a rough patch this season. Bolton has lost two consecutive games and three of their last five. The recent defeats were especially hard-hitting, beginning with a 1-2 loss away to Walsall in the FA Cup, which saw them exit the tournament at an early stage. Following that, they suffered a crushing 0-5 defeat on the road against Stockport County in League One. Currently, Bolton sits 10th in the league table, trailing the top-six teams by just one point. In the English League Trophy, Bolton defeated Barrow 3-2 away, but later fell to Aston Villa U-21 in a penalty shootout.
Fleetwood, on the other hand, started the tournament with a 2-3 home loss to Aston Villa U-21 but bounced back with a resounding 3-0 win over Barrow at home in the second round. Heading into this match, Fleetwood recently secured a 1-0 home victory over Bradford City in League Two, ending a five-game winless streak (three losses and two draws) across all competitions. Similar to Bolton, Fleetwood was also knocked out of the FA Cup, losing 0-2 away to Reading. Fleetwood currently sits 12th in the League Two standings, trailing the top-seven teams by just three points.
