Bolton Wanderers v West Brom tips - Baggies win Bolton battle

West Brom will have prepared for Sunday's trip to Bolton even without manager Roy Hodgson (credit: Matthew Lewis/Getty Images)
Bolton Wanderers will hope that the media circus surrounding new England manager Roy Hodgson will work to their advantage on Sunday.

Roy Hodgson is the new England manager. Anyone who doesn't know that has been living under a rock for the past week and the media circus surrounding the appointment has to have taken its toll not only on the man himself but on his squad's preparations for Sunday's Premier League clash with Bolton Wanderers.

Owen Coyle will certainly hope so as he looks to steer his side out of the relegation zone and it is 11/10 at Coral that Bolton take advantage of any West Brom distractions by winning at the Reebok this weekend. 

That price will have plenty of backers although it is dangerous to place a bet based on pop psychology alone. West Brom may have nothing to play for but they were impressive when beating Liverpool a fortnight ago and also managed a good 1-0 win against relegation threatened QPR, who presumably had more desire to win than the Baggies.

Hodgson's side have, in fact, only lost one of their last five matches and that was against league leaders Manchester City. They won three of the other four and kept clean sheets in all four. That sort of record cannot be ignored and odds of 11/4 at bet365 that they beat Bolton are generous, with 11/4 at William Hill that they draw also worth considering. Covering both, by backing the Baggies with a goal start, at 4/5 with Betfred, looks to be the best option.

Recommendation

Match Handicap (+1 Goal) - West Brom (4/5, Betfred)
