Bolton vs Birmingham Betting Tips

Gary Rowett is continuing to build upon his reputation as one of the hottest young managers in British football and he takes his Birmingham side to the North-West on the back of 3 consecutive Championship victories.

Neil Lennon is struggling to salvage his status amongst that club and with Bolton bottom of the league his job could be under threat unless he can avert their current slide. They have only 1 win in 11 league outings this season and were beaten again at the weekend by local rivals Burnley.

By contrast Birmingham are playing well, high on confidence and are yet to lose away from home in the league this season, all of which are ominous signs for struggling Bolton. It is Wanderers who are still the bookies favourites for the game but given some of their performances this season perhaps they shouldn’t be.

Certainly you have to fancy the Blues to at least avoid defeat here and a win is by no means out of their grasp the way they’ve been playing especially on the road. Therefore consider backing Birmingham to win in the ‘draw no bet’ market at Evens.

Bolton are at least looking a bit more dangerous in attacking sense now after what was an awful start to the campaign in that regard but they’ve conceded twice or more in each of their last 4 games and against the league’s 2nd best attack that could spell trouble.

The side from the Second City are scoring goals from all over the pitch are good value to win this one 2-1 at odds of 10/1.
