Championship - Best Bet

Just the one bet in the Championship, where we like the look of Bolton to beat Birmingham City in Lancashire.

We tipped Bolton recently at home to Aston Villa - highlightling that the Trotters had already won seven home games in the league this season despite losing their opening five in front of their own fans. That means that are now 8-4-2 at home since then, so it looks baffling that these two are barely split by the bookmakers.

Birmingham still need points of course to accelerate away from the drop zone, but the same is true of Bolton, and defeat here would see them begin to get sucked back into dodgy territory.

The Bluenoses have won consecutive games of course, which probably explains the market view of this match, but they still have something to prove - they have beaten Hull and Ipswich, and only at their own place. On the road, they have won just twice and lost 13 times.

1pt Bolton to beat Birmingham at 13/8 (General)
