Bolton v Liverpool Betting: Elmander Can Score First in Vital Premier League Clash

Under fire manager Roy Hodgson takes his Liverpool team to the Reebok Stadium this Sunday in a vital Premier League clash bidding to end their horrendous run of form away from home. To achieve that however, his team will need to overcome a stubborn Bolton team who have only lost one Premier League match all season and are unbeaten at home in the league. Nonetheless, Bet365 Bookmakers make the ‘Reds’ 5/4 favourites in the betting to claim the points, with Bolton priced at 12/5 and the draw an 11/5 alternative.

Bolton boss, Owen Coyle has guided his Bolton team to eighth place in the table, which is a considerable feat considering the meagre resources that have been made available to him. It is true that they have earned themselves the reputation of being draw specialists, drawing six of their nine league games already this season, however, it also proves that they are a hard team to beat. They came very close to defeating Manchester United at the Reebok a few weeks ago, drawing 2-2 in the end after leading twice. They also showed that they play to the very end of every game as was evidenced in their last home game against Stoke two weeks ago when an injury time strike by Ivan Klasnic gave them their first home win of the season after three draws.

Klasnic in fact is under police investigation currently but Coyle has said that he will be available to play in the match. He will also have top scorer Johan Elmander leading the attack who will be hoping to add another goal to the five league goals he has already notched up this season. Elmander in fact looks a very tasty option in the First Goalscorer betting market with best price odds of 8/1 available from bet365 while the same Bookmakers go 15/8 on Klasnic to score at anytime during the match.

One of the key success stories in the Bolton set up this year has been the form of central defender, Gary Cahill, who will have the vital job of shutting out Liverpool golden boy, Fernando Torres. The 24 year old has done nothing but improve since his arrival at Bolton two years ago and if he is in top form then Liverpool will find the net hard to find.

Torres in fact is the favourite in the First Goalscorer betting market with odds of 9/2, he is also an 11/8 option to score during the match. These odds are available from Bet365.com who also go 21/10 on Liverpool skipper, Steven Gerrard scoring in the match and 13/2 on Gerrard netting the first.

The big concern for Hodgson and for all connected to the club is their poor away form. They managed only one win in their last ten away games last season and have lost three from four with one draw so far in this. Away goals too have been sparse with only two league goals and they both came in the same match against Manchester United from the same player (Gerrard).

It is this form that explains why they still sit in the Premier League drop zone plus the fact that they have managed just two wins in nine starts this season, one of which came last week against Blackburn when Torres scored the winning goal in a 2-1 win. As impossible as it is to imagine, Liverpool have been given odds of 20/1 by bet365.com to be relegated this season but are 13/2 with the same bookmakers to finish in the top four. It will be extremely interesting to see which of those odds shorten after this match.

Bolton’s proven ability of not losing should persuade punters to back the draw, certainly a draw would not be a bad outcome for either side in real terms and a 1-1 outcome looks to be the most obvious scoreline. A 1-1 draw can be backed in the Correct Score betting market at 5/1 from Bet365, who also go 14/1 for a 2-2 outcome.
