Manchester United meets Bolton at home, after two consecutive away games and two consecutive losses.
The team had hard visits on Stamford Bridge and Anfield, losing both games with 1:2 and 1:3. United hasn’t lost 3 consecutive Premier League games since December 2001. Currently Manchester United are leading in the league with 60 points in 29 games, a home record of W13 D1 L0, scoring 39 goals and conceding just 9 in those games. The team has won the last 10 home games in a row and remains still unbeaten on Old Trafford this season.
Bolton currently takes the 7th spot with 40 points in 20 games, an away record of W2 D5 L7, scoring 14 goals and conceding 21 in those games. The team eliminated Birmingham last week and will now play a semi-final in the FA Cup, against Stoke City. While Bolton’s most recent away meeting ended draw against Newcastle, the team recorded 6 consecutive losses before that. Their most recent away victory dates November 13th 2010 against Wolverhampton with 3:2.

In the direct games since 1995 on Old Trafford, Bolton has been able to win just 2 and draw one out of the 11 meetings. United has won all games since 2003, which is 7 consecutive victories.
All victories (8) but one, the most recent one actually have been with more than 1.5 goals difference for Manchester United. Since the odds for a home victory given by bet365 are slightly low 1.40, we can look for the Asian Handicap here.
I exclude the possibility for a draw or an away victory, because this would most likely mean losing the top spot for United. Therefore I will back Manchester in this match, with a handicap of -1.5.
