Premier League Game Odds: Bolton Wanderers vs. Chelsea FC

We already had a preview of what might a clash between Bolton Wanderers and  Chelsea FC look like as the two sides collided midweek in Carling League Cup action with Chelsea FC hammering Bolton 4:0 at Stamford Bridge.

As you might expect, much of the same is expected in the second clash in as many days between these two very different outfits. Even if Bolton are the hosts this time around and boast only one home loss thus far in the season.

Soccer Betting Line:

Bolton Wanderers  +1  +105   +600   2½  O -120   U Ev   Draw   +320    
Chelsea  -1  -125   -225   2½  O -120   U Ev   Draw   +320    

 Match Time: 11:00 am Eastern Time Saturday October 31, 2009
Venue: Reebok Stadium

Soccer Betting Analysis:  Chelsea FC are untouchable favourites in this match, listed at -225 under soccer betting at BetUS Sportsbook. And you would be hard pressed to find anybody that disagrees with the market cast.

The Blues returned to the top of the table after beating Blackburn 5:0 at the weekend and they underscored that consummate performance with a comprehensive win over Bolton on Thursday. In a week, the Blues combined for nine goals and managed to keep a clean sheet. That is impressive!

Though Chelsea are in first place again with 24 points after ten cycles, they are mindful of their recent road trip woes. They head to Reebok Stadium on a two-match losing streak in their Premier League travels after losing 3:1 to igan and 2:1 to Aston Villa. Chelsea will be looking to turn get back on track with a road win at the Reebok Stadium.

Bolton has very little to hope for in this match after the beating they received in Carling League Cup action courtesy of the Blues. The best they can hope for is a respectable loss to the No.1 candidates for the Premier League title this season.

Bolton are 12th in the table on 11 points after nine cycles. They are enjoying a three-match undefeated run at the Reebok Stadium with two draws and a win; however, they will be hard pressed to take any points in this match.

Soccer Betting Verdict: Chelsea FC are virtually a lock at -225 for the win here yet the risk doesn’t promise huge rewards. Soccer bettors are better off looking at the totals and spread for value. Taking the combined team totals at 2.5 Over -120 and Chelsea to cover the spread at -1 -125 are the recommended plays.
