• Bolton have scored nine goals in their last four matches.

Goals on the cards in Bolton

After starting the season with four defeats in six games, Bolton have found their footing in the Championship and may be able to take something from a high-scoring game at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

The Trotters have scored nine goals in their last four matches and they should be able to find the net against Middlesbrough, who have the joint-worst defensive record in the top 11 of the Championship.

Boro have conceded in six of their last seven and have just one clean sheet away from home this season, with both teams scoring in five of these seven trips away.

Both teams to score has landed in five of Boro’s last six, so that looks a solid bet for Friday’s fixture. Three of these six games have ended 2-2 and, with both sides in excellent attacking form, another high-scoring stalemate could be on the cards.

Championship top scorer Will Lankshear could also score at least one of those goals. He has nine goals in 11 appearances and has found the net in each of his last three appearances.
