Bolton v Stoke Odds

The Bolton v Stoke odds for this first day Bolton Stoke betting Premier League fixture has the Lancashire club as firm odds on favourites to start the season with a win. Stoke who will be making their Premier League debut and their first appearance in the top flight since the 1984/5 season, will come to the Reebok Stadium in confident and optimistic mood and will realise that this game is exactly the type of game they must not lose if they are to stay up. They are one of the favourites to be relegated at the end of the year and for that matter so too are Bolton. However it is a little bit unfair to list this game as a vital relegation battle so early in the season, but come the end of the season the outcome of this game could prove crucial. Bolton boss, Gary Megson has made three significant signings in the pre-season, including Swedish International, Johan Elmander from Toulouse. Megson is hoping that Elmander can supply the goals that the team so desperately lacked for the most part of last season.

Meanwhile Tony Pulis, the Stoke manager has been accused of not having enough strength in depth in his squad but he has said publicly that he will not panic buy his way into trouble. He is happy with what he has to start the season, he has made three new signings, but like all managers would like to remain loyal to most of his players who got the club promoted in the first place. This in essence is a must win game for both sides, therefore it is almost certain to be a draw. The odds has Bolton ay a best price of 5/6 to win, while Stoke can be backed rather generously we think at 4/1 with Skybet and the draw is also a reasonable price at 5/2. We predict the draw.
