Is it a massive injustice that Sunderland are level with Bolton on points? Matches v Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have left us with a goal difference against those teams of -2 compared to Bolton’s -9 against the same sides.
But can our good efforts and their thrashings equate to an easy win at Bolton? Further confidence must be gained from the fact that Bolton have secured no points at home this season including a defeat against Norwich. Their six premiership points have come with victories at Wigan and Villa. Compare that to just two narrow 2-1 defeats away for Sunderland at Chelsea and Norwich.
Normally here we would look at the best bets for the match. Perhaps some value can be gained in a correct score or a goal scorer or one of the other 100’s of bets the bookies price up. But a Sunderland victory looks stand out good odds at 5/2 so do we need to delve any deeper?
Those less confident may want to consider a draw no bet option which is priced at 11/8. This gives you your stake back if the match ends in a draw but a profit if Sunderland win. The asian handicap 0 bet is the same bet.
More confidence the other way sees Sunderland -1 at 21/4. A one goal victory would see stakes returned with this bet but a win by 2 goals or more a good profit. Bolton certainly can concede at home, having let in 15 from their first 4 home games.
