Match Facts
Bolton are unbeaten in eight league meetings with Bristol Rovers (W4 D4), and are looking to earn back-to-back league victories over them for the first time since September 1980 (run of 3).
Five of Bristol Rovers’ last six league trips to Bolton have been drawn (L1), with these spanning from 1987 to 2022.
No team in League One has won more matches at home this season than Bolton Wanderers (7), with Ian Evatt’s side looking to make it four home wins on the bounce for the first time since February.
Since losing just one of their first four away league matches of the season (W2 D1), Bristol Rovers have lost four of their last six on the road (W1 D1).
