BOLTON VS BIRMINGHAM BETTING PREDICTIONS AND LATEST ODDS

The early fixture on Sunday is an interesting one that pits two sides against each other who are both looking to build on solid opening starts. I think this one is a solid betting opportunity and I reckon both teams are definitely capable of winning and this may boil down to the type of match that goes to the side that wins the key moments. 

Bolton are the distinct favourites for this one and Wanderers can be backed at a 2.1 price tag with popular bookmaker Ladbrokes. The draw is trading at a 3.4 price while Birmingham are available at the same listing. 

It looks like the bookmakers don't exactly expect a barn-burner here and the over/under is set at 2.5 and the under is favoured at 1.61. The over is priced at 2.2 and I think that might be the way to go here, both sides will fancy this one and I can easily see the first team who scores not winding up with the three points. 

If you really do fancy Bolton here, try backing them on a (-1.0) handicap at a 4.0 price. Birmingham to run away with this and win the match on a (-1.0) handicap are a massive 9.0. 

The anytime goalscorer odds show Kevin Davies, Johan Elmander and Ivan Klasnic all favoured to score at any point in the match. You can back either of them at a 2.62 price while Cameron Jerome is listed at 3.25. 

Robbie Blake and Matt Derbyshire are very plausible goal threats and you can back either of them at 3.5. 

Nikola Zigic is an interesting option to score at any point, so keep your eyes on for his name on the teamsheet as he's priced at a solid 4.0. 

A penalty to be awarded and scored at any point pays out at 3.0. 

Birmingham to win to nil are priced at 5.0 while Bolton get the edge at 3.2. 

I think we'll see a few goals in this one and I expect it to be a fairly open match. Over 2.5 goals is a great bet, and I also think that Birmingham fans will do well to back their side on the handicap at that 9.0 payout. Neutral fans backing the draw will probably be the happiest though as there is a distinct side that these two could cancel each other out. A 2-2 draw pays a very solid 15.0.
