Bolton vs Cardiff

Match preview

Bolton and Cardiff meet at the Toughsheet Community Stadium this weekend in a fixture that has arrived with both sides lingering dangerously near the bottom of the Championship table. The hosts are searching for a much-needed spark after four straight defeats left them sitting twenty-first with just four points on the board. While their home campaign has brought one victory alongside two losses, confidence has clearly taken a hit during this difficult run of results.

Cardiff sit immediately above their weekend opponents in twentieth place, also having collected four points from their opening six fixtures. The visitors are still awaiting their first away win of the season following two defeats and a draw on the road, while their overall form shows three draws and two losses in their last five outings. Bolton claimed a narrow one-goal victory when these teams last met at this venue, though Cardiff gained revenge with a two-goal win in the Welsh capital back in April.
