Bolton v Arsenal Betting Tips & Preview 2012-02-01

Match Preview

Bolton

Trotters managed to get out of the bottom of the Premier League table, winning their most recent match against Liverpool with 3:1 and looking forward to the match with Arsenal. Currently the team is taking the 17th position with 19 points, 1 point away from relegation zone, and badly needs points to stay above the threshold. During the week, Bolton met Swansea in a match for the FA Cup, a game won with 2:1. This was the third consecutive victory of the team at home, since the draw against Wolverhampton on December 31st 2012. Simply put, Bolton is unbeaten at home on Reebok Stadium in the new 2012 and the only loss recorded was on Old Trafford against United with 0:3. Seems like Owen Coyle has found the right rhythm for his team, and this is a great opportunity to take on the Gunners, especially after last season’s victory here with 2:1. Bolton’s newly signed players are: Ryo Miyaichi a loan from Arsenal, Tim Ream defender from New York Red Bulls and Marvin Sordell a striker from Watford. .

Arsenal

What can be said about Arsenal so far this season? One of the worst perhaps, that for sure! The team has no victory in 2012 in Premier League, recording 3 consecutive losses to Fulham, Swansea and Manchester United. The Gunners are currently 6th with 36 points record W11 D3 L8 this season, and are 6 points away from the 4th position. Three points here will get them the 5th spot and perhaps the hope to reach Top4 this season. Anything less and Arsenal might as well give up on the season. The presence of Thierry Henry has not helped in Premier League at least so far. Arsenal bought a new player during the January transfer window, Thomas Eisfeld a midfielder from Borussia Dortmund.
