We’re just a short time away from kick-off in the pick of the Premiership fixtures today with Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City side taking on Bolton Wanderers. City go into the match at 4/9 with Bolton trading at a 13/2 price. The draw pays 16/5 and that will likely be what Bolton are shooting for.

This match could favour the punter who is betting in play. City pushed Manchester United to the absolute limits last week and then wound up losing a 2-1 reverse to Hull City. That type of consistency makes it hard to bet on a side, especially when they are short-priced the way that City are right now. Bolton can be a difficult, physical side to play against and I expect to see them defend stoutly and play the long ball. This may make it difficult for City and I suggest waiting until 15 or 20 minutes into the match to see how the possession is shaping up.

Draw/Manchester City could be the way to go here in the double result market as Bolton will likely be up for this one. I expect them to bring a few fans along to the match and they could make their presence felt with a great early start. Draw/Manchester City pays out at a 7/2 margin while City to dominate both halves pays odds-on at 10/1.1

Correct score betting will be available in-play and the shortest odds are 5/1 for City to win either 1-0 or 2-0. A 2-1 victory pays out at a solid 6/1 while a 3-0 rout by City pays a mere 7/1. Bolton to win 1-0 pays 14/1 while Bolton 2-1 pays out at 18/1. Remember that you’ll be able to increase your value by betting two moves ahead- but that can be difficult in a match without many goals.

You can take Bolton on the double chance at 15/8 and there are a whole slew of match trebles available (such as Manchester City to win with under 10 corners and under 4 cards at 15/2). A penalty to be awarded and scored is 7/2 while a penalty awarded and missed pays out at 11/1.

Live betting on the next goalscorer is always a decent bet, and Emmanuel Adebayor is expected to be your go-to-guy along with Craig Bellamy and Carlos Tevez. I expect to see them priced between 9/2 and 6/1 to score next while Kevin Davies and Ivan Klasnic will be expected to score for Bolton- I’d see them priced at 7/1 and 8/1.
