After two goalless draw games on this stadium, Manchester City will accept Bolton who are having a great season so far.
Currently 4th, with 26points in 15 games and a home record of W3 D3 L1, Manchester City has failed to scored in their last 2 home games against Manchester United and Birmingham.
Bolton are currently 6th with 23 points and an away record of W2 D4 L1. The team was in the red zone at one point last year, but after Gary Megson was sacked and Owen Coyle took over, he was able to save the team from going down in the Championship and as for now Bolton is one of the top 7 teams who will participate in the European tournaments next year.
Of course it’s too early to talk about such things, but it’s good to acknowledge that, since in 2005 Bolton finished 6th for a first time in their history and qualified for UEFA Cup (Europa League now). The year after they took the 8th spot, but then next year they finished 7th an again participated in the UEFA Cup.

But enough of Bolton history, let’s take a look at the facts around this games.
Carlos Tevez has scored five goals in 8 games against Bolton, and three in the last two games.
Tevez is priced to score first at 4.33 and 1.90 to score at anytime.
Bolton has been able to win only once in 11 games in all competitions against Manchester City. However they are unbeaten in the last 5 away games, four of which ended 1:1, and the last one was a victory over Wolverhampton with 3:2. Manchester City has won the last two games here without conceding a goal, with 2:0 and 1:0. The Clean Sheet bet for Manchester City is priced at 2.10.
This game can go either way, although the bookmakers point City as the favorite. However the team has performed under expectations and the 1.53 for a home victory seems not good enough, at least to me. I would go the opposite way and will cover 66% of the outcome of the game and still get better odds.
