Stevenage travel to the University of Bolton Stadium on the back of an impressive week.

Alex Revell's side will be looking to make it three games unbeaten after Tuesdays surprise victory against Tranmere and Saturdays draw against Morecambe.

Form

Boro come into the game in impressive form. Four points from two games against teams in the play off places has buoyed the squad.

Their last five games have resulted in two wins, two draws and one loss.

This form sees them sit in 21st place and six points above the relegation places.

Bolton's season has been one of inconsistent form.

After a tough start to the season, they progressed towards the play offs after an impressive unbeaten run, but have since come crashing down after a dismal run of games.

One win, three draws and one loss in their last five games has seen them drop to 19th place.

Team news

Boro will be hoping that Charlie Carter and Joe Martin will be in contention after they both limped off on Tuesday night.

Jack Roles is in consideration to make his Boro debut and Danny Newton will be looking for a starting place after his wonder strike earned Boro three points on Merseyside.

Danger men

Marcus Maddison will be a name that most Boro fans know. The midfielder was pipped for a premier league move two seasons ago before being loaned out to championship side Hull.

The playmaker was prolific in his time in League One for Peterborough and will be looking to hit the ground running after his red card was rescinded against Morecambe on Tuesday night.

Their top goal-scorers this season are the prolific Eoin Doyle with 11, ex premier league striker Nathan Delfouneso has hit seven goals while ex Plymouth midfielder Anthony Sarcevic has netted five goals.

Head to head

The teams have only met once before. Bolton took the three points after a 2-1 win at the Lamex back in November.

A win would see Boro leapfrog Bolton and possibly into 16th place if results go their way.

Alex Revell previews the game

"When we played them at home it was a very close game. I didn't feel like we deserved to lose that game."

"We need to turn the draws into wins and we've done that over the last few weeks."

"Now can we go one better, put in a real positive performance and get a real positive result.

"It's a real opportunity for us to go there and put in the same performance to get and get a positive result."
