Derby are struggling, with no wins in their last five matches. They have lost four and drawn one, including a heavy 0-4 defeat to Norwich City on Saturday. Their last victory was on 14 October against QPR, where they lost 1-4.

Bolton are in better form, winning two of their last five matches. They recently secured a 1-0 victory over Charlton Athletic. Their other results include a loss to Bristol City and a draw with Southampton, showing some inconsistency.

In the league table, Bolton sit 16th with 17 points from 14 games, while Derby are at the bottom in 23rd place with just 7 points from the same number of matches.

Historically, the teams have met four times, with Derby winning twice, Bolton once, and one match ending in a draw. Their last encounter was on 16 March 2024, where Derby won 1-0 at home.

This match is crucial for Derby as they look to turn their season around, while Bolton aim to build on their recent success.
