Football Betting Prediction: Bottom Half Safe

Premier League Start: Bolton 0, Fulham 0

The Strengths:
The move from Burnley to Bolton by manager Owen Coyle, looked a bit of a strange one last season, and didn’t look a particularly great football betting decision on his behalf. He will have been justified in his decision though, as Bolton were saved from relegation, while Burnley found themselves having to play Championship football this season. For that reason, Coyle has to be earmarked as a real strength, and could just scrap around for the pieces that will again ensure survival. They got their new season off to a half decent start, and playing at home, they need to pick up as many points as they can. The one strength about Bolton, is that Coyle really hasn’t changed much in terms of personnel. The same squad which got the club safe from relegation in the end, is pretty much the same one which is going in to the new season. That means Coyle must have a lot of faith in them, and he will be expecting to be hanging around mid table for safety.

The Weaknesses: Bolton may not have improved enough over the summer transfer market. They are probably going to be a stronger and more organised side under Coyle now from the start of the season, but they are not going to threaten too much near the top half of the table. The stability which Coyle has benchmarked, could be the thing which gets them into trouble. This is a transition period for Bolton somewhat, who were always kind of seen as the Premier League bully boys under Sam Allardyce, but Coyle will try and get some prettier looking football into the club. Whether the personnel is there to do that, and secure Premier League status for next season, is a different matter entirely.

Bolton Betting Home: Bolton will win games at home, although they really struggled to last season. They cannot afford to be drawn into things like that again, and you should expect a marked improvement over last season’s stats. Bolton are not going to be great, but they are not going to be a complete disaster either so keep an eye on them in Barclays Premier League betting. They only had six wins at home last season, rounding out to a 32% win percentage at the Reebok. Not good enough, but look for that stat to improve a little. They did draw 6 home matches as well, which makes them prime for home Draw No Bet options.

Bolton Betting Away:
This is the real test of teams which are destined to scrap around the bottom half of the Premier League. Picking up points away from home in the Premier League is no easy task of course, but Bolton have always been seen as having a good abundance of resilience in battle away from the Reebok. Last season they struggled, winning just four matches on the road. Twelve away defeats though will hurt a team in the season, and that is where they have to be more resilient. Look for Asian Handicap bets which lean towards Bolton just in the plus. They will probably do enough to hang on in enough matches for this to pay off.

Bolton Best Betting Stat: Bolton to win 1-0 at home. That was their favourite scoreline at the Reebok last season when they did win. Expect more of the same from them.
