Bolton Wanderers prepare for a key Championship clash against Stoke City this Saturday, aiming to extend their recent winning run. The match at Toughsheet Community Stadium offers a chance to build on consecutive victories over Cardiff City and Norwich City.
Their recent form shows a team finding its feet, having won their last two matches after a run of three straight defeats. Thierry Gale, the club's top scorer with three goals this season, will be a key figure as they look to add to the 11 goals they have scored so far.
Stoke City arrive with strong momentum of their own, sitting seventh after a run of three wins and a draw from their last four outings. Bolton's last outing was a thrilling 4-3 away win at Norwich, a result that demonstrated their attacking potential.
Both teams are expected to field similar lineups to their most recent matches. Bolton are likely to persist with a 4-2-3-1 formation, while Stoke typically operate with a 3-4-3 shape. The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, October 10th. A positive result could see Bolton close the seven-point gap to league leaders Swansea City.
