Championship - 21st August 2012


Bolton (4/6) v Derby (9/2)

Bolton were very poor in their 2-0 defeat to Burnley but this represents an excellent chance for them to get back to winning ways. The feisty atmosphere which greeted Owen Coyle’s men most likely had a big part to play in unsettling them but back at the Reebok, they should be able to put their class on the game. Derby were excellent in the first half of their opener against Sheffield Wednesday but got pegged back and this challenge will be vastly different.

 Advice: 2 pts Bolton (4/6 general) 

Charlton (9/5) v Leicester (13/8)

Leicester have been well overrated in the title betting by bookmakers but they look to be more than capable of taking 3 points away from newcomers Charlton. The League 1 winners impressed when only just denied by Birmingham on the opening day, but Leicester too made a good start when dismissing Peterborough 2-0 at the Walkers stadium and should go better than last season.

Advice: 3 pts Leicester (13/8 general)

Wolves (4/6) v Barnsley (5)

Wolves will have to improve sharply on their dismal opening day display at Leeds but they, much like Bolton, should be far more comfortable infront of their own crowd and new manager Stake Stolbakken has a quality side at his disposal with which to turn things around.

Advice: 2 pts Wolves (4/6 general)

Blackpool (1) v Leeds (3)

Blackpool are prime contenders for promotion and started marvellously with a slick 2-0 win away at Milwall last weekend. Expect Leeds – themselves quite impressive when dismissing Wolves 2-0 – to lay down a strong challenge in what should be a tight game. Preference is for Blackpool but both teams should get on the scoresheet, with Balckpool having only failed to find the net once at Bloomfield Road last season, while Leeds scored in 17/23 of their away games. 8/11 on both teams getting on the scoresheet looks a gift from Coral and the 15/2 on a 2/1 home win could also be a smart way to go.

Advice: 3 pts Both teams to score (8/11 Coral), 1 pt 2-1 Blackpool (15/2 general)
