20/1


As ever on a Friday, a limited service as I want to allocate time to the Saturday and Sunday matches. But there are a couple of standout matches I want to look at on Friday.

LEAGUE POSITION - 4th v 1st and quite a surprise to see home side in 4th place. Last 2 head to heads recount a Mgladbach side able to defend well against the attacking prowess of FC Hollywood.

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - mgladbach

RECENT HOME FORM - DWWWDWWDW - solid at home , unbeaten this season. Against top 8 it's DWDWD - all draws were score draws. 

RECENT FORM OVERALL - WLDLWWWWDLW - only 4 defeats this season have been away from home and all 1-0 defeats. Only 3 draws this season, all at home and all score draws v top 8. We can infer , then, that at home worse case could be a score draw against top teams. 

GOAL TRENDS - 44% overs at home. Have scored in all home matches. Last 3 matches unders and 4 before that overs. 3 clean sheets in last 5, other 2 were 1-0  loss and 1-1 draw. Only failed to score in those 4 1-0 away defeats.  It looks like Mgladbach are solid defensively.

STREAKS - 9 at home without defeat. Have scored in last 9 matches. 

AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Bayern Munich

RECENT AWAY FORM - WWWDLWLW - only 2 away defeats have come in last 4 matches against 7th and 14th 2-1 and 3-2 and both convincing enough. Have only played one of top 4 away and won 2-0

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WWDWLWWLLWWW - 2 of 4 defeats this season 1-0's at home to 2nd and 4th. This makes the away defeats rather anomolous in the context of a superb season 

GOAL TRENDS - 63% overs away from home and 70% overs overall. 8 of last 9 matches over 2.5 goals. Have conceded in 5 of last 6 matches which is in stark contrast with 9 clean sheets in preceding 10 matches. Have failed to score in only 3 matches this season. Have only conceded 3 goals in the first half of matches all season. 7 conceded in 2nd half and bearing in mind 5 goals were conceded in those 2 defeats alone, might Bayern be a little more vulnerable than usual? The opponent leads at half time in only 11% of matches. 

STREAKS - no draw in 9 overall. No defeat in 3 overall. Have scored in last 4 overall.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - Bayern tend not to do unders but they are playing a home side here who look to be rock solid defensively and are likely to be bang in there for a score draw.  Odds seem a little short for Bayern if ultra defensive Mgladbach turn up. Unders a possible goer as could 0-0 . Who will out? Unders defensive strengths of home side v overs of away side?

730pm - Sable-sur-Sarthe v Paris St-G - 1.17 away - this French Cup match should be the mismatch the odds suggest. the question is whether Paris SG will play a fullteam and this will be as per the odds ( 3/4 goal win) or as per the Porto/benfica cup matches ( 1-0 wins when 1.12) Always tough to gauge these one timers.

SATURDAY
1230pm - St Mirren v Celtic - 1.41 away

Clean sheets in last 6.
LEAGUE POSITION - 8th v 1st.

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - St Mirren

RECENT HOME FORM - WLLDWLDWLWD - talk about inconsistent. They have lost 0-2 already at home to Celtic. But beat Rangers 2-1 at home. 

RECENT FORM OVERALL  - LWDWLLDDWDLL - last 2 wins were home wins, both 2-1 against Dunfermline and Rangers and latterly Rangers scored first. Have conceded 5-2-2-1-1-2-2-5 in last 8 matches. 

GOAL TRENDS - 55% overs at home. 8 of the last 9 matches over 2.5 goals largely down to concession rather than scoring. Have scored and conceded in last 7 overall. Have failed to score in 4 of 5 matches at home against top 5. Score 76% of goals in the first half of matches, 12 of those just before half time. 

STREAKS - Have scored and conceded in last 4 at home.Have scored and conceded in last 7 overall so expectation for a 1-1 minimum?

AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Celtic

RECENT AWAY FORM - WWWLLDWWWWW - have lost away to 2nd and 3rd only and have beaten 8th 0-2 away and 0-5 at home this season already.  6 out of 6 wins against bottom 6 were to nil. 2-0's, 1-0 and 3-0's the prevailing scorelines. Celtic have not conceded in last 4 overall.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WDWWWWWWWWWWW - superb form scoring 2-0-2-2-2-5-1-1-2-2-1-3-2

GOAL TRENDS - 36% overs away from home. 3 of last 4 matches overs 6 clean sheets in last 8 matches. have failed to score in 3 matches. 

STREAKS - 11 match winning streak. No defeat  in 14 overall. Have scored in last 11 ( obviously).

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - What chance a win to nil here? Look at head to heads, look at 2 matches this season, look at Celtic winning to nil away to bottom 6, and St Mirren losing 4 of 5 at home to top 5 without scoring. 0-1, 0-2, -0-3 goers I hope. St Mirren have been managing to score of late. I hope the cleansheetitis of Celtic comes through.

1245pm - Norwich v Chelsea - 1.65 away

27.08.2011

05.03.2005
Only 1 recent head to head of relevance saw an easy enough home win this Premiership season.
LEAGUE POSITION - 9th v 4th. Chelsea will remain 4th if they win. Norwich are top 10 - amazing 

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Norwich

RECENT HOME FORM - DLWWDLWWLD - the DLWW sequences ended with a LD recently. Perhaps tellingly , defeats at home to 3rd and 5th 0-2 and 1-2 and playing 4th today. The wins have seen 4-3-2-2 scored which is quite a surprise. Loss against Spurs at home saw Spurs score 2nd half. Loss against Arsenal saw Norwich score first.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - DDLLWLWDDLDWW - last 3 defeats have come against Arsenal , Man City and Tottenham. 

GOAL TRENDS - Norwich have conceded in all matches this season which infers, given their record, that they either come back if conceding first, or actually concede if scoring first.60% overs at home.Overwhelming overs this season. Have failed to score in 3 matches this season.

STREAKS - Have conceded in last 21 matches.

AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Chelsea

RECENT AWAY FORM - DWLWLWWDDW - losses away to Man Utd and QPR. LDWD against top 8 away .

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLWLWWWDDDLWW - very ropey form indeed. Recent wins have seen 89th and 90th minute goals to gloss the 3-0 win v Newcastle, 82nd minute pen to beat City at home, 3 1-1 draws, a 1-3 home loss to Villa, a 1-2 away win v Wolves care of an 89th minute winner, and 1-0 at home v Sunderland.


GOAL TRENDS - 50/50 overs away from home. Only 2 of last 6 matches over 2.5 goals. A feeling 1-1 is a goer as a tradable scoreline given Chelsea's current record. Chelsea have only failed to score in 2 matches. A relative consistency about scoring throughout the 90 minutes.Good starters to the first 1/4 of the 2nd half and last 1/4 of the 2nd half for Chelsea hint that if they are in trouble up to half time, we could expect a comeback 2nd half.

STREAKS - no defeat in 5 away. Have scored in last 12. 

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - 2 top 10 sides here , surprisingly enough for Delia's boys.  Losses for Norwich at home v 3rd and 5th  saw Spurs take til the 2nd half to score and Norwich score first against Arsenal. I just get the impression this could be a typical Chelsea match, you know , initial struggles, and lucky and feck 2nd half breakthrough goal and possible late late winner. A feeling 1-1 could be a good back to lay correct score for trading purposes only. With Chelsea most unconvincing and conceding, Norwich could score. This could be another match where halftime could see us return to the markets. 0-0 might be a back to lay trade initially.

245pm - Compiegne v Lille - 1.28 away
3pm - Deportivo v Villarreal B - 1.41 home

Difficult to call this match, despite Everton winning to nil.
LEAGUE POSITION - 11th v 17th. Blackburn might be the most motivated with their current status as outside the bottom 3 ( on goal difference).

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Everton

RECENT HOME FORM -LDWLLWLDWL - inconsistent look to the home form.Have lost to 18th and 19th at home which suggests that those who need the win ( strugglers) are finding some way to get a result at Everton. 

RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLWWLLDWDWLLD - recent defeats against  Bolton and Spurs saw Everton concede 2. Everton have scored 0-0-1-1-1-1-1-0-1 in their most recent matches. Therein lies their problems. 

GOAL TRENDS - 40% overs at home. Have kept a clean sheet in only 10% of matches at home. Overwhelming recent trend is with unders. Everton have scored in 6 of last 7 matches but had great trouble scoring previously.

STREAKS - no strong streaks 

AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Blackburn

RECENT AWAY FORM - LDLDDDLLDW - what's with that 2-3 win against Man United. Amazing and turned those draws into a win at last. All draws score draws. 

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LDLDLWLLLDWLW - look at recent results, wins against United and Fulham, and a draw against Liverpool. A loss against Stoke spoilt this recovery. 

GOAL TRENDS - 70% overs away from home. 9 of last 10 matches over 2.5 goals. 1-1 draw v Liverpool was a successful over 2.5 goals trade. Have scored and conceded in all away matches. have conceded in all matches this season. Overwhelmingly over 2.5 goals. Have scored and conceded in last 10 overall.

STREAKS - Have scored in last 10 away and last 10 overall and conceded in last 10 away and last 21 overall.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - Blackburn likely to concede at some stage, or will this very long sequence end with a clean sheet for Blackburn against an Everton side which has struggled to score of late - 0-0-1-1-1-1-1-0-1 recently.
You get the feeling Blackburn must be incredibly confident after 3 goals against United and Fulham, a draw with Liverpool too. And Blackburn have an ability to score as well as concede of late which hints at over 2.5 goals IF, and only if, Everton manage 1 goal. 1.59 at home is far too short for me looking at the form. There may be a reason I don't know - team news etc? But given I am researching 2 days before the matches I am afraid this is something you will have to do.

3pm - Fulham v Newcastle - 2.06 home

If Newcastle lose, it seems to be a 1-0 of late.
LEAGUE POSITION - 14th v 6th 

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Fulham

RECENT HOME FORM - DDDWLLWWLW - wins against Liverpool, Bolton and Arsenal in last 4 home matches. Defeats at home have come against 2nd , 3rd and 11th. 

RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLWLDDWLWLDDWL - lost 0-5 at home v Man Utd recently. 2 draws 1-1 were away v Chelsea and Norwich. DLLW at home v top 5. 

GOAL TRENDS - 60% overs at home. have conceded 11 goals in last 1/4 hour of matches this season. Despite 3 of last 4 matches overs, overwhelming trend is with unders. Have scored and conceded in last 4 matches overall. 

STREAKS - 7 at home without a draw. Have conceded and scored in last 4 overall. 

AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Newcastle

RECENT AWAY FORM - WDDWWLDLWL - recent losses against Man City, Norwich, and Liverpool  saw Newcastle conceding 3-4-3. Tend not to lose away to bottom 9.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WWLDLLDLWLWW - really dodgy patch coincided with playing the better teams but not 3 wins in last 4 against Bolton, Man Utd and QPR. 

GOAL TRENDS - 50/50 overs away from home. Demba Ba has scored 15 goals this season ( next best 4) - overwhelming over 2.5 goals trend this season  4 of last 6 matches were clean sheets. 

STREAKS - have scored in last 8 away and last 5 overall. No draw in 5 overall

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS WWLW at home plays WLWW overall -2 teams who have suddenly found their form. This makes this a difficult game for me to read, The goal trends point to overs. Remember though that we don't need to get involved in every match we research. We have a Fulham overwhelming unders trend v a Newcastle overwhelming overs trend. fulham have struggled against top 5  - are Newcastle worthy of their top 6 status?

3pm - QPR v Wigan - 2.12 home - 18th v 20th and I am afraid I will keep up with my leaving new manager matches alone. QPR under Sparky may be renewed, or take time to play as he likes so any form research for QPR

This is also one of those " one off matches" featuring bottom and 3rd bottom. I personally would favour Wigan but this is not a match we can get a real angle into.

Clean sweep by Rangers
LEAGUE POSITION - 2nd v 9th, all to play for for Rangers.

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Rangers

RECENT HOME FORM - DWWWWDWDWWW - unbeaten at home.Draws against 3rd, 5th and 8th, 2 draws were 1-1 and the other 0-0.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - WWDWWWDLWWWLLWW - last 3 defeats were away from home.Losses away to 1st 6th and 8th, against 1st and 6th were 1-0.

GOAL TRENDS - 46% overs at home. 4 of last 5 matches over 2.5 goals with 3 of the scorelines 2-1. Have failed to score in 3 this season, and all 3 occured in last 9 matches. Celtic are the only side to have scored 2 or more against Rangers at home this season so look for a Rangers scoreline to nil or one.

STREAKS - 3 match home winning streak 2-1, 2-1, 3-0. 8 overall without a draw. No defeat in 11 at home.

AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team  - Aberdeen

RECENT AWAY FORM - LLLDLLDLWLW - last 2 wins , both 1-2 away to St Johnstone and Dundee United. Have lost away to 1st, 2nd , 3rd and 4th away 2-1, 2-0, 3-0, 1-0. 6 away matches without scoring. 

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLLDLDWWLDWD - last 2 draws were 0-0 draws at home to Hearts and Kilmarnock. 7 defeats and a 0-0 draw against top 8 home and away for Aberdeen.

GOAL TRENDS - 55% overs away from home. 0.82 scored away on average. Only 2 of last 5 over 2.5 goals but the general recent trend is towards overs.Aberdeen have kept a clean sheet in 3 of last 5 matches. 2 0-0's in last 3 matches. 

STREAKS - 4 away without a draw. Have scored in last 3 away and conceded in last 7 away. 

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS  - as ever when the Old Firm is involved, form should revolve around how the opponents have performed against the Old Firm and those in 3rd and 4th, and it is clear that Aberdeen have lost 7 and drawn 1 0-0 n the 8 home and away against top 4. 3 defeats without scoring against top 4 away could be replicated today. Looking at home form, Rangers worse case should be a draw, and probably a score draw. Speculators might see 0-0 as a goer here given Aberdeen have had 2 0-0's in last 3 ( and if Rangers can't score early, Aberdeen are unlikely to score). 2-1 seems to resonate amongst these teams, perhaps with a 2-0 cover for rangers ?

3pm - Stoke v West Brom - 2.02 home - this is a match again which is just too close for me to call. 1-1 and 0-1 scorelines relate what is likely today. Instinct points to a really defensive outlook by both sides.

LEAGUE POSITION - 8th v 15th - Stoke in the Top 10 must be pleasing to their manager. WBA are slowly putting some distance between themselves and relegation

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Stoke

RECENT HOME FORM - DWDWLLWWDD - defeats at home have come against Newcastle and QPR. Generally 2+ goals scored against bottom 4 sides at home. 

RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLLLWWWWLDDWD - 3 draws in last 4, and 2 of them were 0-0 draws. Only 1 defeat in last 9 matches sees Stoke in very good form. 

GOAL TRENDS - 50% overs at home. The overs seem to be split between top 4 or 5 or bottom 4 or 5 at home.10 of last 13 matches over 25 goals. Stoke have failed to score in 3 of last 5 matches against Man City, Villa and Liverpool. In the most recent matches Stoke have scored 2-2-0-0-2-2-0 - either 2 goals or no goals. 

STREAKS - 4 at home without defeat and 4 overall without defeat. 

AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - WBA

RECENT AWAY FORM - LWLDWLDWWL - WBA have lost away to 3rd, 4th, 5th and 10th .Top 10 sides and Stoke are top 8! WBA failed to score away in losses v 3rd, 5th and 10th.  Last away loss was a 0-1 v Spurs.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLWLDLWWDLLL - Poor WBA are reverting to unlucky - 0-0 v Man City, 0-1 home loss v Everton  - 87th minute goal, 1-0 away loss v Spurs - 63rd minute goal, 1-2 home loss v Norwich - 79th minute loss. 

GOAL TRENDS - 70% overs away from home. 3 of last 4 matches under 2.5 goals reflect the " hard luck" WBA are having. They have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 matches. And have only kept a clean sheet in 4 matches. 

STREAKS - have conceded in last 8 away matches  - no win in 4 away. 

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - Stoke have only had one defeat in last 9 matches. WBA are just losing and the hard luck story will end soon.The goal trends signal a potential over 2.5 goals ( 50% overs for Stoke and 70% overs for WBA away). Not a match I want to trade but unders , a contrarian view, could be a goer early on. WBA cannot want to lose a 4th consecutive  match . 1-1 could be a potential trading only correct scoreline.

3pm - Sunderland v Swansea - 1.96 home

betting research template
HEAD TO HEADS
27.08.2011
And another headscratcher, but new manager Martin O'Neill has made a huge difference for Sunderland. Will the good times continue against an accomplished Swansea side punching above their weight.
LEAGUE POSITION  - 12th v 10th - close together in the league.

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Sunderland

RECENT HOME FORM - LLWDDDLWDW - only 1 defeat in last 8 at home was against Wigan and signalled the end of Bruce's reign

RECENT FORM OVERALL - LDLLWLWDWWL - only 2 defeats recently, both 1-0's and both away v Spurs and Chelsea. A recent home win against Man City says it all about the O'Neill factor

GOAL TRENDS - 60% overs at home. Have scored 10 in last 15 minutes of matches this season. A big raft of draws against 11th, 13th, 14th, 15th at home , 3 of 4 are score draws. 

STREAKS - no defeat in 3 at home. Have scored in last 4 at home. 

AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Swansea

RECENT AWAY FORM - LLLLDDLDLW - only 1 win away was last match 0-2 v Villa  - 0-0 draws against 6th and 7th .Swansea have not won away against top 11.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WDLDLWDLDDWW - 1 defeat in last 7 and that was a 1-0 away at Everton.Arsenal the only side to have scored 2 goals in those matches.  

GOAL TRENDS - 50/50 overs away from home.Overwhelming recent unders trend for the Swans.

STREAKS - 2 away without a draw. Have scored in last 4 overall.

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - 0-0 sole meeting perhaps reflective of Swansea'a ability to defend well.Only 1 defeat in last 8 at home for Sunderland meets a Swansea side with only 1 win away this season. I think this makes it advantage Sunderland. Goaltrends difficult because, remember, we are dealing with a home side under new management.

3pm - Wolves v Aston Villa - 2.64 home - I don't really like getting involved in derbies. The last 2 head to heads are a good gauge ,at least, as to how Wolves have approached recent matches as you will see below in their overall form.

LEAGUE POSITION - 16th v 13th 

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Wolves

RECENT HOME FORM - WLLLDWWLDL - last 2 defeats, both 1-2 against Stoke and Chelsea. The D in the middle is a better reflection of Wolves' current form.Wins have generally come against bottom 9 and that is where Villa currently reside. Wolves have beaten 12th and 14th 2-0 and 2-1 and playing 13th today.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - WLLWLLDDDLD - 4 draws in last 5  and all score draws and the loss against Chelsea a heartbreaking Fat Frank 89th minute winner.  

GOAL TRENDS - 80% overs at home. An amazing amount of 2-1, 2-2 scorelines , both winning and losing at home. Only 1 of last 4 matches over 2.5 goals down to the 1-1 draws 

STREAKS - Wolves have scored and conceded in last 7 at home, which immediately hints at 1-1 starting point for trading?No win in 7 overall and have conceded in last 18 overall.

AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Villa

RECENT AWAY FORM - DDDLDLDWDW - last 2 wins, only wins of the season against Bolton and Chelsea must surely boost the confidence. We see a progression with Villa in deliberately attempting to avoid the draws that pervaded them early season. Petrov scored in the 2 wins, and the fact Villa are scoring more than 1 in matches must help in that avoidance of draws.Sole away defeats have come against 1st and 3rd, but draws have pervaded mid to upper-lower part of the table.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WLDLWLLDWLD - talk about inconsistent  -an inability to string together a positive set of results makes Villa a difficult side to read. Majority of defeats have come at home. 

GOAL TRENDS - 50/50 overs away from home. Overs and unders alternate in recent matches again adding to that Villa unpredictability. Villa have failed to score in 6 of last 10 but I remind you of the 2 wins in last 3 aways which infer that the scoring problems are occuring at home.

STREAKS - 4 away without defeat..

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - firstly, I don't like involvement in derbies of any kind, as there is a different dynamic about the matches that leads to unpredictability. And talking of unpredictability, look at Villa's overall form, and sudden ability to score and beat Chelsea away.  It is most certainly a day for very closely matched teams and I really can't get an angle in here at all, suffice to say that Wolves' forwards are not clicking - Conan Doyle upfront only has 2 this season. A This falls into the category of a match I will avoid. If you have an opinion then read the form and decide for yourself. We don't have to get involved in every match which presents itself.

Liverpool seem to have the advantage here in head to heads  although away at Bolton the scorelines tend to be a lot closer.
LEAGUE POSITION 19th v 7th - important game for both sides. The bottom half is so congested that 3 points could be invaluable today in the bid to stay up.

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Bolton

RECENT HOME FORM - LLLLLWLLLD - that 5-0 win v Stoke came from out of nowhere . Against other top 10 sides at home Bolton have conceded 2 goals minimum.

RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLWLLLLLWLDWL - signs of recovery last 5 matches with away wins against Blackburn and Everton and a home draw v Wolves. Defeats recently v Newcastle and Man Utd.

GOAL TRENDS -  60% overs at home. Average concession rate at home of 2.4 goals. Hugely vulnerable to conceding at either side of the halftime break. An average 1.19 goals scored this season suggest problems if conceding over 2 on average. It points immediately to a likely 1-2 loss.Opponents score first in 3/4's of matches this season -  an angle in if there were to be a goal? Have failed to score in 5 of last 9.

STREAKS - 4 at home without a win, and have conceded in last 10 matches overall. 

AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Liverpool - no Suarez is a huge miss, and  Carroll Vorderman is not scoring. How important is this absence of a world class striker?

RECENT AWAY FORM - WLLWWWLWDL - all defeats away have importantly seen Liverpool unable to score, and that is the key to Bolton's success today particularly helped by Suarez's ban.Liverpool have failed to score in last 3 away matches.Have only played one of bottom 5 away and that was a 0-0 v Wigan. Vulnerable to a good defensive side away. That was the sole draw away.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - WDWDLWWDDWLD - only 1 win in last 5 for Liverpool threatening to derail any top 4 aspirations.  0-3-1-0-0 scored in those matches highlights potential attacking concerns.

GOAL TRENDS - 30% overs away from home. and 29% overs all season highlights a lack of goals in matches. Good defence. Only 4 defeats and all away from home.4 away wins were 0-2 - Suarez the top scorer with 5 goals tells you everything!

STREAKS - no discernible streaks. 

CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - If Bolton approach this match from an ultra defensive perspective, they will get something. All Liverpool defeats this season have been away and have been without Liverpool scoring a goal. best Case for Bolton therefore is a 1-0 home win. But it will take a huge leap of faith from a side conceding 2.4 on average at home and whose opponents score first in 75% of matches. Bolton have conceded in last 10 matches. This could be a frustrating afternoon for the Reds and Bolton could surprise with Suarez absent and the other strikers not firing. I feel a 0-0 might be backable initially to stay in for as long as you dare. A match really to watch and perhaps react to see how Liverpool fare upfront. Bolton defend, they will get something from this match, but conceding in last 10 matches signals potential smash and grab from Liverpool.
