Bolton Wanderers vs Reading

Bolton Wanderers host Reading in a midweek English League One fixture, with both teams looking to find some momentum for their campaign.

Neither side has been at their best this season, but the hosts have looked slightly better coming into this clash. They should have the upper hand over the visitors, who are yet to secure a win this season.

Bolton Wanderers News

It has been a mixed start for Bolton Wanderers this season, having picked up just one win from their opening three League One matches. They were held to a 1-1 draw at Barnsley in their previous fixture.

The good news for Bolton Wanderers is that their only win has come at home, a 2-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle. Manager Steven Schumacher will look to use that result as a spark to jumpstart their campaign.

Bolton Wanderers are solid going forward and have scored in their last three matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in the last two fixtures on this run.

Reading News

Reading have endured a difficult start to the season, having lost all three of their League One matches so far. Noel Hunt’s team were beaten 2-1 at home by AFC Wimbledon in their previous fixture.

The Royals have had one moment of joy this season, which came in their 2-1 EFL Cup first round victory at Portsmouth. They will be looking to replicate that result on Wednesday in a bid to get their season on track.

Reading have shown some attacking quality in recent matches but tend to leave things exposed at the back. They have scored and conceded in their last two fixtures across all competitions, both of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Reading have seven wins while Bolton Wanderers have picked up five victories, with six draws from 18 previous matches. The visitors claimed a 1-0 victory in a League One fixture back in January, while the hosts have won the last two home meetings.

Verdict

Bolton v Reading

Bolton Wanderers’ only win this season came in front of their fans, while they have also won the last two home matches against Reading. They should claim the upper hand over the visitors, who have lost all three of their league matches this season.

Both teams have scored in three of their last four meetings, with all three fixtures producing over 2.5 goals. Wednesday's clash is expected to offer up a similar outcome.
