Bolton Wanderers will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to seven games in the Football League One when they host Accrington Stanley at University of Bolton Stadium on Tuesday night. Both sides are heading into the match on the back of contrasting results last weekend, with the host getting the better of Shrewsbury 1-0, while Accrington suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Portsmouth. The victory helped Bolton to move to fifth spot in the English third tier standings, having collected 75 points from 43 games, just two points clear of seven-placed Peterborough. The visitors, on the other hand, are languishing at the 23rd position, with 38 points to their name, three adrift of safety. Meanwhile, the previous meeting between these two sides was in February in the semi-finals of EFL Trophy and the match ended 2-0 in favour of Bolton, thanks to second-half efforts from Elias Kachunga and Aaron Morley.

Bolton won their 26th third tier game of the season against Shrewsbury on Saturday thanks to Josh Sheehan’s lone goal in the second half. The result extended the Whites’s unbeaten run to seven games across all competitions, winning four times and keeping as many clean sheets in the process. The Wanderers are in a three-way battle to make the last two League Two playoff spots with three games remaining, although Derby County and Peterborough have played 44 matches. The Trotters have conceded the fewest home-goals in League One (12) and have the sixth-best record in the third tier at University of Bolton Stadium, and success on Tuesday will take them to fifth in that particular table.
Accrington Stanely, on the other hand, have high chances of getting relegated to the fourth tier of English football, having lost their last four matches. They might be just three points off escaping the bottom four in the league, but an awful run of just one win and nine defeats from their last 11 games leaves them in a desperate situation in the campaign’s final weeks. Stanely suffered their 23rd league-win of the season at Portsmouth on Saturday courtesy of Joe Pigott’s lone goal in the second half. They have won their nine third tier games this term and their last success came against Port Vale on April 7.
Bolton Wanderers probable starting lineup: Trafford, Jones, Williams, Johnston, Bradley, Morley, Sheehan, Williams, Dempsey; Charles, Adeboyejo
Accrington Stanley probable starting lineup: Jensen, Clark, Rodgers, Nottingham, Sangare, Hamilton, Quirk, Longelo, Nolan, McConville, Lowe
