Hear from Hasselbaink
Ian Evatt pre-match comments
Quotes via The Bolton News.
“They (Burton) have a very good record since Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink took over, there’s no doubt about that. I think it’s going to be a tough game and a difficult game for us, but also a difficult game for them.
“If we perform to our levels and standards and limit mistakes and learn from the performances and results we’ve had so far this season, I’m more than confident, especially at home that we’re more than capable of beating any team in this division.
“But we have to be at it and we have to perform to our levels.”
Bolton v Burton prediction
I'm expecting a close game between these sides.
Bolton have started strong at home, but Burton will provide a difficult test.
Prediction: Wanderers to maintain their unbeaten home record this season and Burton to stay unbeaten in this fixture. Final score 1-1.
Previous meetings
This will be the sixth meeting between these sides. Burton are unbeaten in all five of the previous games, winning four and drawing one.
They last met in March 2020 at the Pirelli Stadium and drew 2-2, with the Brewers winning 4-3 at the University of Bolton Stadium in the same season.
Burton won both of their other two respective visits 1-0 in the Championship and League Cup.
Key player for Burton Albion
Lucas Akins is a key player for the Brewers. He's now in his eighth season with the club and has scored two goals and provided one assist this campaign, with his latest goal earning the point against Cheltenham.
Key player for Bolton Wanderers
Eoin Doyle is one of Bolton's key players. The 33-year-old was second to Paul Mullin in the League Two scoring charts last season and has already scored three and assisted one in all competitions this campaign.
Predicted line-ups
Bolton Wanderers: Dixon; Jones, Santos, Johnston, Gordon; Williams, Thomason; Isgrove, Sarcevic, Afolayan; Doyle.
Burton Albion: Garratt; Brayford, Shaughnessy, Leak, Hamer; Morris, Borthwick-Jackson; Smith, Powell, Akins; Hemmings.
Who will be the referee and his assistants?
The referee for this game will be Joshua Smith. His assistants are James Wilson and Robert Merchant, while Marc Edwards is the fourth official.
Both sides with a big incentive
Victory for Bolton would see them climb 11 places to third, while a win for Burton would send them top.
Burton looking to get back to winning ways
The Brewers failed to win their last two league games, losing 3-0 at Cambridge before drawing 1-1 at home to Cheltenham Town.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's side also lost 2-1 at home to MK Dons in the EFL Trophy last Tuesday, meaning they are looking for a first win in four in all competitions.
Bolton looking to maintain their unbeaten home record
Wanderers have made an impressive start to life back in League One.
Ian Evatt's men have lost just one of their opening five league games, losing 1-0 away to Cambridge United.
They will be looking to keep their unbeaten home record intact against a strong Burton side.
The match will be played at the University of Bolton Stadium
Bolton Wanders v Burton Albion will take place at the University of Bolton Stadium, which holds 28,723 people.
