Bolton

Over 3.5 Match Goals

Four of Bolton’s nine Championship matches this season have produced at least four goals, including their thrilling 4-3 victory at Norwich. Both sides have struggled defensively, with Southampton failing to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 20 league games and Bolton conceding 17 goals in nine matches.

Southampton 3-1

Reason for tip

Southampton’s excellent home record gives them the edge, having won 12 of their last 15 Championship games at St Mary’s. However, their defensive vulnerabilities suggest Bolton can contribute to the scoring. Two of Southampton’s five victories this season have come by a two-goal margin, and a 3-1 home success looks an appealing correct-score option.
