January 24th features a match where Bolton Wanderers hosts Forest Green Rovers at University Of Bolton Stadium in a clash of these two extremely mismatched League One teams.

Bolton Wanderers is fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against Portsmouth. Dion Charles struck first for Bolton Wanderers in the 15th minute on a feed from R Williams, then Kieran Lee added another in the 48th minute In the end, Portsmouth couldn’t muster any offence and Bolton Wanderers ran away with the shutout win. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Bolton Wanderers should be reasonably happy with their performance, while forest Green Rovers sits at 24th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-2 loss against Birmingham City. Ben Stevenson struck first for Forest Green Rovers in the 8th minute, but Lukas Jutkiewicz got the equalizer for Birmingham City in the 50th minute But luckily in the 65th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Kevin Long. Forest Green Rovers is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in The New Lawn, Forest Green Rovers won by a score of 1 to 0. Connor Wickham scored the first goal for Forest Green Rovers in the 32nd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Bolton Wanderers was frustrated by Forest Green Rovers’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Forest Green Rovers ended the match with the shutout victory.
Myles Peart-Harris and Kyle McAllister are the top scorers for Forest Green Rovers in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Bolton Wanderers is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Eoin Toal and Dion Charles each having 2 goals in their last five.
