Bolton – Leicester

Bolton Leicester betting previewNot too much in it for either club in this season end, as both teams have pretty much achieved their respective objectives. However, it should be a cracking encounter between two fine teams.

Bolton (14th place) was dirt poor for much of this season – surprisingly, as they have a very good team. However, lately the hosts have found some excellent form and are undefeated with 4 wins and 3 draws in the last 7 games. Much of this success must be attributed to an improved defense.

Leicester (1st place) needs just 1 win in these last 3 league games in order to clinch the Championship title. Direct promotion is already booked, so that is probably the reason for which Leicester suffered a dip in form lately. City did win 1-0 vs. QPR last round, but the performance wasn`t too impressive and the team was on the back of 2 winless games, including a horrible 1-4 home loss to Brighton. In the last 6 away games Leicester won only twice and recorded 6 draws.

Team news & lineups

Holden, Tierney and Eagles are all out for Bolton, while Davies is doubtful. Leicester only has St. Ledger unavailable.

Bolton Wanderers: Bogdan – Hutton, Mills, Weather, Ream – Spearing, Trotter – Jutkiewicz, Chung-Yong, Danns – Beckford

Leicester City: Schmeichel – Laet, Wasilewski, Morgan, Schlupp – Knockaert, King, Drinkwater, Mahrez – Vardy, Nugent

There are a couple of bets looking very interesting here, like the over 2,5 goals or 1x on Bolton, but the best choice in my opinion is the draw, which provides us with excellent value. Leicester is clearly the better team but Bolton is in amazing form and plays at home. While Leicester has 4 draws in the last 6 away games, Bolton has the most draws in the Championship (16) and the most home draws in the league (10 in 21 matches!). I expect a tight and entertaining game here, and in the end it might well end up being a tie that will satisfy both sides. My tip is the draw – I feel it`s the most likely result here and the odds are excellent. Prediction: Bolton Wanderers – Leicester City 2-2.
