Footymad preview History of the Bolton Wanderers v Derby County fixture

Derby County travel to take on Bolton Wanderers at Burnden Way on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rams will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Bolton Wanderers was just over four years ago, in January 2008, the Trotters carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premier League match.
