MATCH DETAILS
Bolton Wanderers v Wednesday
Saturday 9 April
3:00pm
Sky Bet League One
University of Bolton Stadium
Wednesday have been in stunning form since the turn of the year and the positive run of results has seen us climb into the play-off positions.
The lion’s share of our points have come from Hillsborough and manager Darren Moore is looking for his side to keep up the momentum on the road this weekend.
Looking to strengthen our place in the top six, the Owls head to Bolton who occupy 11th spot in League One.
Saturday’s hosts have also shown plenty of promise in 2022.
Ian Evatt’s side went on a superb run of eight wins from 10 games between mid-January and late February and threatened to break into the play-off picture themselves.
But a mixed bag of form since then has seen Wanderers slip down the table and well away from the top six spots.
Earlier this season, the Owls posted three points against Bolton with Lee Gregory’s second half strike enough to seal the points.
