Wolverhampton - Bolton

Can Wolverhampton Wanderers regain their composure at Molineux Stadium on 13 October 2026 as they face Bolton Wanderers in this matchday 10 encounter? The hosts will be looking to bounce back after a narrow defeat to Middlesbrough, with the expected XI featuring Adam Armstrong and Mateus Mane leading the attack. However, the side faces defensive challenges, as Toti Gomes is confirmed as a key absence alongside Rodrigo Gomes and Raul Jimenez. The home side will rely on the experience of Kieran Trippier and Jose Sa to anchor a reshuffled defensive unit against a visiting attack looking to exploit any gaps in the backline.

Bolton Wanderers arrive following a difficult home loss to Stoke City, though they previously demonstrated their scoring potential in a thrilling 4-3 victory over Norwich City. With Sam Dalby and Kyliane Dong expected to start up front, the visitors will aim to disrupt the rhythm of a Wolves side that has struggled for consistency in recent weeks. Given the high-scoring history between these two clubs, including a 5-1 result in their favour back in 2017, the hosts will be wary of Bolton's ability to find the net despite their own recent defensive wobbles.
