Leeds v Bolton

The first of our Feb 23 Championship betting tips is for Leeds v Bolton. Leeds United continue in their bid for an overdue return to the Premier League when setting up against struggling Bolton on Saturday afternoon in a 3.00pm kick-off. The home side are 18-7-7 following last week’s win and the 61 points on the board has them third in line, level on points with Sheffield United in second and just two behind pace-setters Norwich. A top-six finish now looks all but guaranteed but they’ll be eager to snatch a spot in the best two, taking advantage of the automatic promotion, avoiding the drama that comes with involvement in the play-offs. The home win has been sent out as 2/9 favourite by the traders at Bet365. One for stacked accas.

Fighting for a Future

Bolton can be found fighting for their futures in the second-tier of English football and went into the week placed 23^rd, only Ipswich worse off. 19 defeats from 33 matches has done the damage so far and only time will tell if that’s irreparable. They have their fair share of worries but take heart from the fact Reading and safety is currently just three points ahead, with plenty of football still to be played.

Bolton have managed only six wins this season but did grab one of them in their penultimate go. They fell back into bad habits last time, going down 4-0 to a rampant Norwich who are in the hunt for silverware. Well beaten, not a lot could be said for the losing side, other than it was a result that was expected. Bolton are unlikely to attract attention, even at a jaw-dropping 16/1 with Ladbrokes, the draw 5/1 when betting through Unibet. Take a home win to nil at a decent 4/6 (Bet365).

Our Tip: Leeds win to nil – 4/6 at Bet365
