Bolton meets Manchester City at home, on Sunday August 21st 2011 at 16:00 UK Time
Bolton
Bolton started extremely well the season with an away victory against the newcomer in Premier League Queens Park Rangers with the score of 4:0. Bolton finished last season 14th, with 46 points, but because of the density in the table, they were only 3 points away from the 8th spot. During the pre-season games, the team recorded 6 victories and 2 losses, which is a good performance stat. One transfer for the team during the summer, on loan attacker Tuncay Sanli came from Wolfsburg.
Manchester City
Manchester City also started the season in the best possible way, a victory over the Welsh newcomer in Premier League, Swansea, with the score 4:0. The new €45m transfer Sergio Aguero participated in the match and even scored 2 of the 4 goals. During the summer, the team also bought Stefan Savic from Partizan Belgrade and Gael Clichy from Arsenal. A possible transfer of Samir Nasri is still in the process, but City wants to wrap it up as soon as possible. Pre-season games were a success, 4 victories and a draw, also a loss in the Community Shield against United, after City lead 2:0 on Half Time.

A bit of everything, three victories, four draws and and three losses for Bolton here. Most recent games a loss, a draw and a victory. According to the sportsbooks the Citizens are a favorite here with odds to win at 1.83 (bet365). The draw, which seems like the most valuable bet here, and a logical outcome is at 3.50 (bet365).
Don’t forget that if you place a bet on 1st/last goalscorer or correct score in bet365 and the game ends 0:0, your wager will be refunded.
Betfred has also goalscorer juiced up odds offer, which you can checkout here.
Bolton to win will be a profitable bet, if you believe the team can somehow surprise Mancini’s selection, like they had done in 2008.
My prediction for this game, is that Manchester City will get the victory, as the team will definitely try to attack the Top 4 again as well as the first spot.
