Bolton vs Wigan Athletic Match Preview
Bolton lost 4-0 to Sunderland midweek and manager Owen Coyle blamed injuries for his club’s inability to defend. The injury list is substantial.
The names of Joey O’Brien, Sean Davis, Kevin Davies, Gary Cahill, Gavin McCann, Stuart Holden and Chris Basham all appear on the list.
The match up against Wigan on Saturday pits 14th place against 15th. With Bolton on 29 points and Wigan on 28, both clubs at least remain at arm’s length from relegation.
The four previous encounters between the two clubs have produced a grand total of two goals, both scored by Wigan in narrow 1-0 wins. The most recent two matches between them have both ended in scoreless draws.
Wigan’s week has been a good one so far. They beat Liverpool 1-0 on Monday at DW Stadium.
Columbian striker Hugo Rodallega got the winner following a Dirk Kuyt error. The win pushed Wigan up to 15th in the league, a full four points above the relegation zone threshold of 24.
The Liverpool victory was only Wigan’s second win in 2010. Yet the Latics can now face Bolton confident that they have a little distance between themselves and a potential drop at the end of the season.
