Bolton Wanderers' goalscoring feat which puts them ahead of Manchester City & Nottingham Forest

Bolton Wanderers have a formidable home record in 2022 as the Unviersity of Bolton Stadium has become a fortress for them.

Since the turn of the year, Ian Evatt's Whites have lost only three games in all competitions. The League One side are unbeaten in the five matches played so far this campaign.

Of the three defeats, two have been at the University of Bolton Stadium in what has become a fortress for Wanderers. These were the losses against Wycombe Wanderers and Plymouth Argyle.

Not only have Bolton been a force since the turn of the year, but at home they have been a threat in front of goal. The 6-0 thrashing of Sunderland at the end of January in particular springs to mind.

And it is something which has been a key aspect for Evatt's side this year, as the figures so far for 2022 show. Wanderers have found the back of the net 33 times at home this campaign, following the 1-0 victory over Morecambe.

League One rivals Sheffield Wednesday top the home goalscoring charts this year with 38 goals so far. They are following by Portsmouth and Fulham, who have both netted 34 times.

The 33 goals Wanderers have scored at home puts the Whites ahead of two Premier League sides this year. These are no less than top flight champions Manchester City and newly promoted Nottingham Forest, who have both scored 31 goals at the Etihad Stadium and City Ground.
