All sorts of interesting connotations surround Tuesday’s Premier League match of Blackburn v Bolton. The two sides are struggling at the bottom of the table, with bottom dead last and Blackburn sitting just one point and one place ahead of them. The respective managers here, Blackburn’s Steve Kean and Bolton’s Owen Coyle are really under the cosh and both are the front runners to be next out of a job when it comes to Premier League manager betting. Bolton are on a terrible slid of seven defeats out of their last eight matches, while Blackburn are scraping together points here and there but continue to simply throw points away through sloppy play. This match really could decide who is next out of a job, and some precedence has to go towards the home side in Blackburn v Bolton betting, even though when it comes to goals scored and goals conceded both are matching pretty evenly. Bolton have the league’s worst defensive record of having conceded 38 goals, two worse than Blackburn, while Blackburn have scored three more goals than Bolton. So defensive issues are definitely the key problems for both of these sides, and now this is a massive match at the foot of the table and a great way to start of your Christmas week of football betting. Who will prevail? Who will be out of a job next? It really is as much of this game being a case of under pressure Steve Kean v Owen Coyle at the moment, as it is Blackburn v Bolton. Should be a fascinating battle at Ewood Park on Tuesday, really with no holds barred in scrapping for their jobs and Premier League lives. The bookies are giving the nod towards Blackburn picking up a home win, and that is the biggest advantage to which they can play to on Tuesday night. They have to make this one count, and therefore they do make the better option in your football betting for this one.
