Footymad preview History of the Bolton Wanderers v Norwich City fixture

Norwich City travel to take on Bolton Wanderers at Reebok Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Canaries will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them taste defeat on 11 occasions, and draw 8, from the 21 games played.

The last time the two teams met at Bolton Wanderers was back in March 2005, over five years ago, the Trotters carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Bolton Wanderers's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Trotters have scored 7, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Norwich City's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 10 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Bolton Wanderers find themselves struggling down in 14th position in the league having picked up 3 points from their 4 matches.

Norwich City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 2 points from 4 matches.
