Charlton Athletic and Bolton Wanderers will enter their midweek game level on points after 29 League One games. On Tuesday, both sides clash heads at the University of Bolton Stadium with kickoff at 11 pm.
Charlton Athletic will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to seven matches, while Bolton Wanderers have not suffered a league loss in any of their previous five league encounters.
Bolton Wanderers, who were three points above the relegation zone after 24 league games, has earned 13 points from their last five games. They are now ten points clear of danger. Bolton Wanderers may be dreaming of closing the 13 point gap to the play-off places by the end of the season.
Trotters’ boss Scott Neil will be hoping his side can return to winning ways after drawing 1-1 at home with Morecambe in a game held up for 10 minutes due to crowd disorder and allegations of racist abuse.
Meanwhile, Charlton is having a good run of form. After beating Fleetwood Town and Portsmouth in League One, they welcomed AFC Wimbledon on Saturday to the Valley for a five-goal thriller game.
Ethan Chislett put the Dons in front, but Ryan Inniss and Conor Washington gave Charlton a 2-1 lead before Ben Heneghan equalised before halftime. Charlton’s Akin Famewo scored another header as his side won 3-2.

Bolton Team News
After signing for Bolton on transfer deadline day, Kyle Dempsey made his debut as a substitute on Saturday, and he could make his first start for the Trotters in midweek. Meanwhile, Xavier Amaechi gains strength after returning from injury, and Tuesday’s match could come too soon for the 21-year-old.
