Manchester United vs Bolton Wanderers

Free

Today’s featured game is at Old Trafford beween reigning champions Manchester United and traditional relegation stragglers Bolton Wanderers. Hosts Manchester United enter this game with some notable absences whereas visitors Bolton Wanderers have few injury concerns and are surprisingly unbeaten in their past four games. My main reasoning behind today’s bet is that Manchester United’s strike force is looking somewhat limited for this game. With Wayne Rooney missing the game through injury and Dimitar Berbatov likely to miss the game due to the birth of his daughter, Manchester United are left to rely upon returning crock Michael Owen to penetrate a strong and well-organised Bolton Wanderers defence. Whereas I respect that his off-the-ball movement is good enough to grab himself a chance or two, generally he’s not going to be able to compete with the likes of Cahill in the air, one-on-one, or for pace, thus removing a great deal of Manchester United’s goalscoring potency. Bolton Wanderers tend to park the bus in front of goal when they come to Old Trafford under Gary Megson and it’s generally rather effective, keeping the scoreline under 2.5 goals for the last four games between these two sides and that’s with both sides having full squads. Without Dimitar Berbatov, Manchester United look rather devoid of creativity more often than not this season and that’s a big worry because that’s the one area we haven’t at least attempted to replace Ronaldo in. As a Manchester United fan myself, I have to admit I’m concerned for this game. I think it’ll be quite a boring and one-sided game but with such little attacking potential on the field, it’s hard to see Manchester United consistently breaking down a resolute and mentally strong Bolton Wanderers side. Given that Bolton Wanderers haven’t even scored against Manchester United for four seasons now, it doesn’t seem likely to change now as their tactics are not designed to accomodate for such a thing. Given Manchester United’s lack of attacking prowess available at this present time, it seems unlikely that they’ll score more than two goals. For those reasons, taking under 2.5 goals at 6/5 looks something of a bargain today!

P.S. Manchester United have also said that Darren Fletcher is a doubt for this game, which is another big loss against a combative Bolton Wanderers side.

Saturday’s PicksMy tips: 

As ever, below are my recommended value tips for today in no particular order:

Manchester United vs Bolton Wanderers – under 2.5 goals at 6/5 – see introduction for full details.

SV Ried vs SV Kapfenberg – home win with -1.75 handicap at 13/10. Arguably Austria’s best home side SV Ried entertains relegation battlers SV Kapfenberg with the knowledge that they’re now unbeaten in three and well on course to reproducing their excellent home form. SV Ried have had some very tough home games so far this season and yet have still managed to score an average of two goals per game, losing just one of those four games. Today they host an SV Kapfenberg side that have lost three out of five away games so far this season, conceding nearly three goals per game in the process. With two defeats and one draw from their last three games, SV Kapfenberg are not only a lesser side but also have no momentum for the game. Considering that SV Ried have won the last two encounters between these two sides at home in the Bundesliga, you have to feel that they’re capable of doing such a thing yet again. The odds aren’t great for this outcome, however, unless you’re seeking accumulator fodder. Therefore, I’m going to stick my head out and say that SV Ried will beat the -1.75 handicap at 13/10 just like they did last season due to the above information.

Rijeka vs Osijek – home win at 4/5. Four wins and one draw from five home games shows that Rijeka are setting out their stall much as they did last season by turning the Kantrida Stadium into a fortress again. Although both of these sides have made promising starts to the Prva Liga season, only one of these two sides are capable of maintaining their excellent form and that’s hosts Rijeka. Osijek have done well mostly at home in this campaign with their away form a little patchy currently after two away defeats and just one victory from four away games. Hosts Rijeka have won their last two games consecutively, granting them good momentum entering this game and they’re also the better side out of these two so taking the home win at 4/5 seems something of a gift to me.

Banik Ostrava vs Slovan Liberec – home win at 10/11. With their dismal Gambrinus Liga start continuing, Slovan Liberec are looking a good side to bet against week in, week out. Three defeats, one draw and just one win from their past five games says that there are problems in the Slovan Liberec camp that aren’t simply going to go away overnight. The visitors have lost a staggering four out of five away games this season and have conceded more away goals than any other Gambrinus Liga side currently with an average of over two goals conceded per away game. I think hosts Banik Ostrava are overachieving currently but they do currently have enough to win this game, particularly as they enter this game on the back of a victory. Three home wins and an unbeaten run of five home games says that Banik Ostrava will make life hard for Slovan Liberec today and should have enough to claim a narrow victory with their tenacious defensive football at 10/11.

Nordsjaelland vs OB Odense – away win at 4/5. Visitors OB Odense are simply looking too good for everyone at the moment! Currently atop the Superligaen, the visitors have won three games consecutively and have only been felled once this season. Their away form isn’t massively conclusive but their ability and momentum is as they enter this game with out-of-form Nordsjaelland. I expect the hosts to give them a stern test in this game but ultimately the away win does look likely as the hosts have now lost three games consecutively. For me, 4/5 on the away win bears significant value today.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea – away win at 4/5. After the shambolic defeat at Wigan Athletic in their last away game, Chelsea will almost certainly avoid a repeat of that display as they travel to bogey-side Aston Villa. Just one win here in their last four visits shows why the odds are so good on the away win but in all honesty, a severe quality difference should be very much evident here with Aston Villa’s shaky defence being tested by the tactically astute Carlo Ancelotti. The hosts may have conceded only a handful of goals this season but they’ve only had one real test yet – this should be their biggest yet. Aston Villa also aren’t looking as potent as usual – something seems to be missing somewhere. Chelsea just look almost German with their efficiency to win games and I thoroughly expect another “German” performance today to earn us some money at 4/5!

Stoke City vs West Ham United – home win at 11/10. Three defeats and one draw says that West Ham United are not mentally prepared to take on a fierce and competitive Stoke City at the boisterous Britannia Stadium. West Ham United just aren’t scoring enough goals and thus their momentum is suffering. Stoke City seem to have special powers of survival whenever they play at home, regardless of their actual form at the time. Stoke City have won all of their home games at home this season against sides that they should be troubling i.e. excluding the games against Chelsea and Manchester United so their ability from last season has not become dormant. Basically, Tony Pulis’ side are much more easily motivated than Gianfranco Zola’s West Ham United and the hosts have the impressive ability to win ugly whenever they need to. For me, the home win at 10/11 bears considerable value today, given the above information!  

Sunderland vs Liverpool – home win with draw no bet at 6/4. I’ve been toying with this selection in my head all week but it’s been nailed by the fact that Liverpool’s only two world-class players are both missing for this game through injury. Yes, the heavily-relied upon duo of Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard both miss this match through injury, something which will give Steve Bruce’s Sunderland side a much easier ride on the day. Sunderland were massively impressive in their display away at Manchester United before the international break as the manager has really got them firing on all cylinders with a great mix of talent, work-rate, and efficiency. I can see Sunderland becoming a force over the next few years if things continue as they are, seriously. Today though – Kenwyne Jones is going to give a very dodgy Liverpool defence a lot of problems today, as is the pacey Darren Bent. For me, Sunderland have all the momentum and confidence at the moment whereas Liverpool haven’t really hit their stride yet. Taking the home win with draw no bet odds of 6/4 could be a very good bet today.

Wycombe Wanderers vs Colchester United – away win at evens. Although not many games in England today take my fancy, this one certainly does. It’s something of a no-brainer, really. Not only do Colchester United have a better side but they’re also in tremendous form with three consecutive wins and no defeats in their past seven games. Colchester United are one of the top goalscoring sides in League One and look to further that record today away to lowly Wycombe Wanderers. Since being promoted from League Two, Wycombe Wanderers have really struggled to adapt with just one win in twelve games. They’ve lost four of their last five games and are struggling to remember how to compete or to locate any motivation whatsoever. There’s a big quality mis-match here today and a massive momentum clash so the away win at evens looks something of a bargain today!

RoPS Rovaniemi vs KuPS Kuopio – home win at evens. As this is the last game of the Veikkausliiga for both sides, it only really becomes necessary for RoPS Rovaniemi to play this game as they’re currently bottom of the Veikkausliiga and heading for the Ykkonen unless they win today. As fortune one would have it, they’re facing a KuPS Kuopio side at home that they’re more than capable of beating, let alone matching, and also a side that has nothing to play for. RoPS Rovaniemi have a chance to make a last stand but they must win this game today to have a hope of achieving a relegation play-off spot against one of the Ykkonen clubs – assuming that JJK Jyvaskyla don’t beat Tampere United, of course. RoPS Rovaniemi are capable of winning this game today and I thoroughly expect them to because they’ve got the quality to do it and if they don’t then they wave farewell to this league. For me, the home win at evens bears some value today.

TPS Turku vs FC Honka Espoo – away win at 17/10. In the final game of the season, both of these two sides have a chance of winning the Veikkausliiga. Both sides require HJK Helsinki to lose their game at home to Jaro Pietarsaari, which might look unlikely on first glance but HJK Helsinki have a lot of problems playing against Jaro Pietarsaari in general. Regardless of that, however, both TPS Turku and FC Honka Espoo have to win this game. FC Honka Espoo have already shown that they can beat TPS Turku by beating them away in the Suomen Cup a few weeks back. Although they needed extra time after a 2-2 draw, they won 5-2 in extra time, showing their true potential. TPS Turku have looked unreliable ever since they were listed as a title challenger in the final third of the Veikkausliiga season, dropping points in silly places and not putting enough pressure on HJK Helsinki. In fact, the league leaders have also stuttered of late. Only FC Honka Espoo have truly embraced their position, which is ironic as if they’d have done this earlier in the season then they’d have won the Veikkausliiga without question. An emphatic 9-0 demolition of RopS Rovaniemi last match showed just how confident and in-form the FC Honka Espoo side are so I do fancy the away win today at 17/10 – let’s just hope HJK Helsinki slip up!

Accrington Stanley vs Bournemouth – home win with draw no bet at 5/6. I don’t rate Accrington Stanley very highly but a Bournemouth squad with massive injury problems will struggle against anyone. Accrington Stanley have won four of their six home games this season so it’s already going to be a tough match for Bournemouth but with the vast number of players unavailable to them, you can’t help but feel that a home win with draw no bet odds of 5/6 looks favourable here.

Auxerre vs Girondins de Bordeaux – away win at evens. Desipte a surprising loss at Saint-Etienne pre-international break, Laurent Blanc’s Girondins de Bordeaux are still a formidable force for any side to deal with, particularly a mediocre Auxerre. The hosts have played well lately since a slow start and are unbeaten in five. However, they’re very low goalscorers and simply cannot match the firepower of Girondins de Bordeaux, the Ligue 1 top goalscorers. Olympique Lyonnais ran riot here six games ago; I thoroughly expect a similar display from an impressive Girondins de Bordeaux today at evens.

Olympique Lyonnais vs Sochaux – home win with -1.75 handicap at 10/11. Olympique Lyonnais are looking extremely impressive with a wealth of attacking potency at the moment and Sochaux are looking their usual mediocre selves and cannot pull their away form together whatsoever. Do I really need to elaborate further on this selection when you see Sochaux have lost three from four away games and aren’t fit to be on the same park as Olympique Lyonnais? The -1.75 handicap at 10/11 looks a bargain if you know anything about football.

Kaposvari Rakoczi vs Ujpest – away win at 10/11. Relegation battlers Kaposvari Rakoczi entertain title challengers Ujpest in a game where both sides really could use three points. The hosts haven’t won a game in their last five, losing three and drawing twice. To their credit, they are unbeaten at home but visitors Ujpest are more than capable of disposing of that particular record. Four wins from their past five games says that Ujpest are looking their usual potent selves and I can’t see them breaking stride against an out-of-form Kaposvari Rakoczi tonight. For me, the away win at 10/11 is a good bet, particularly as the visitors have simply got too much quality for their hosts to deal with.

Genoa vs Internazionale – home win with draw no bet odds of 5/4. Hosts Genoa have impressed immensely this season with some great home displays, potent goalscoring and general ability to play football. Although their defence has been shaky at times, I’m prepared to overlook that today in light of the news that both Eto’o and Milito miss this game through injury. Internazionale have already proven that they can stumble on the road but without those two key strikers, they’re really going to struggle to take anything off a resilieint and unbeaten-at-home Genoa side. For me, the hosts have got more than enough to cause problems and potentially even win this game so taking the home win at 6/4 with draw no bet seems a good call, particularly as Internazionale have European committments mid-week.

Cittadella vs Piacenza – home win at evens. Three home wins and just one draw says that Cittadella are in a great position to beat Piacenza at home. Three wins in their last four games has given the home side the momentum they need to see it through, too.  Although I wouldn’t have expected such a good start to their Serie B campaign, I’m certainly embracing it now for games like this although I really don’t think this form will last the season. Visitors Piacenza have lost two consecutive games and sit just outside the relegation zone. With just one win away from home all season, they do look unlikely to take an impressive Cittadella apart so the home win at evens looks a good call to me.

FC Twente Enschede vs AZ Alkmaar – home win at evens. This is an interesting match-up at this time of the season because AZ Alkmaar are currently everything but what they were last season, which was to be expected after the departure of Van Gaal, really. Three defeats in their last four games isn’t anything like the AZ Alkmaar we became used to last season. However, FC Twente Enschede are everything we saw last season and more. Steve McClaren has made the same side from last year even stronger and more efficient as their position atop the Eredivisie only too clearly indicates. Seven wins from nine games has given FC Twente Enschede great momentum so taking the home win today in a game of two sides at polar opposites with odds of evens on the home win seems a bargain!

Molde vs Stabaek – away win with draw no bet at evens. This is a very risky call when you consider that Stabaek for all their qualities are simply a “home” side. However, Molde’s run of three straight defeats leaves their morale bruised and battered as the efficient Stabaek roll onwards towards them with three consecutive wins. Eager to atone for their defeat by Molde this season, Stabaek have all the motivation and momentum they need to win this game so taking the away win with draw no bet at evens looks a good call today.

Polonia Warsaw vs Odra Wodzislaw – lay Polonia Warsaw at 11/10. This is a risky call but both sides are currently in atrocious form with little to no sign of cohesion. Atypically, I’d favour Polonia Warsaw to do the damage here but as they’re missing 9-10 players for this game through injury, you really have to start to favuor their opponents. Polonia Warsaw don’t have a big squad to begin with but when that’s taken from them then they start to struggle, naturally. Odra Wodzislaw won’t get many better opportunities than their game today to take three points this season so laying a demoralised and physically damaged Polonia Warsaw at 11/10 could be one of the bets of the day!

Cracovia Krakow vs Polonia Bytom – home win with draw no bet at 4/5. This is a risky call but one I like the look of purely because Polonia Bytom are going to really struggle scoring goals without the only two strikers they have, Zielinski and Podstawek, as they don’t have any others. Their form has been good so far this season but as I cannot see them scoring today and given that Cracovia Krakow don’t lose many games, you have to favour the home win at draw no bet odds of 4/5.

Spartak Nalchik vs CSKA Moscow – away win at 4/5. Although both sides are in good form and both need the points, there’s only one side here with real quality and you don’t need me to tell you which side that is. Rejuvenated under Juande Ramos, CSKA Moscow are still intent on claiming the Premier League title and given the faltering form of league leaders Rubin Kazan, it may not be quite so far-fetched as you may think. Either way, an away win is on the cards here at 4/5.

Hibernian vs Kilmarnock – home win at 4/5. Third-placed Hibernian have been impressive in recent weeks as they’re undefeated in their past three games, winning twice and drawing the other game. Today they entertain a Kilmarnock side destined for the division below if their form doesn’t pick up. Without a win in their last five games, it looks unlikely that Kilmarnock will trouble Hibernian today, particularly as they’ve lost two of their three away games already this season. Therefore, odds of 4/5 on the home win look inviting.

Castellon vs Real Betis Balompie – away win at 10/11. A quick-glance at the Segunda Liga table will tell you all you need to know about this bet, really! Real Betis Balompie have struggled to win lately but if they can’t beat Castellon at the moment then they’ve got serious issues! A no-brainer at 10/11!

Denizlispor vs Bursaspor – away win at 11/10. Seven games into the Super Lig and Denizlispor are in trouble as they’ve still not won a game. The second-bottom club have managed to score a meager three goals overall and look general cannon fodder for any opponent. Bursaspor have come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of years and this year is no exception. Three straight wins has seen today’s visitors climb to third in the table with a total of five wins from eight games. They’ve already won two of their four away games so far this season so an out-of-form and toothless Denizlispor shouldn’t have any capacity to change that record in their favour. For me, the away win at 11/10 shows significant value!
