Obviously Chelsea dominates in the direct games here, but the team is currently hasn’t been convincing enough despite the last two victories for FA Cup, and Premier League. Bolton’s last victory here dates 26/10/1997. I am a punter that always goes with the statistics so I will back Chelsea here, the question remains whether I should look for a regular victory or a handicap, since there has been only one game where Chelsea has failed to win with 2 goals margin.
