Bolton Wanderers vs. Huddersfield Town Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Bolton Wanderers and Huddersfield Town, taking place on Saturday, 14 September 2024, at Toughsheet Community Stadium in Bolton.
Bolton Wanderers, Recent Form
The 2-0 home defeat to Exeter City will not have sat easily with the Bolton Wanderers squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.
Manager Ian Evatt will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have failed to score in their last 3 games, and when playing at home, they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
Bolton will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Aaron Collins will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Toughsheet Community Stadium having scored 5 goals in Bolton Wanderers' last 6 home games in the league.
Huddersfield Town, Recent Form
Any Huddersfield Town pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 away defeat by Rotherham United.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Bolton Wanderers vs. Huddersfield Town Head to head
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Bolton Wanderers, losing 0-2 to Huddersfield Town.
The Terriers have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with Bolton. Playing at home, Bolton have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Huddersfield. The Huddersfield defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Trotters in the league, with Huddersfield conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Huddersfield has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Bolton in 3 games.
