PREVIEW
Bolton have won 3 of their last 4 meetings with Millwall, including a 2-1 result earlier this season, but are still priced at well over even money to win at home. Why do you think that is?
Well for starters Millwall are 7th in the league, with 8 more points than Bolton, who are 16th. Also, Bolton can't seem to get a run of results going. They shipped 5 at Peterborough and lost, lost here 1-0 to Sheffield Wednesday, and have not won their last 2 matches, losing 1-0 at Leeds before being held to a draw at home by Sunderland 2-2 in the FA Cup.
Millwall, on the other hand, have won 2 straight games, beating Bristol City and then Preston, 2-1 and 1-0 respectively. Millwall have been performing well enough when travelling too, losing just twice in their last 10 away games, drawing 5. They should match up well against Bolton, who have not just lost 3 of their last 4 league games, but have also proved over the season to be very incapable of keeping leads when they do get them.
The 21 points Bolton have dropped from winning positions means they are almost always at danger to concede, and the stats prove it, with Bolton shipping 40 goals in 26 games, totally negating the 39 they have scored over that period.
Millwall are only slightly better defensively, allowing 35 goals to be netted against them. Their offence has also scored 39 goals, so not much difference. What is glaring is the fact both teams are conceding over 1.5 goals per game.
