What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from Bolton and 1.3 from Stoke, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Stoke come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.3-1.3), and we make both teams to score about 51%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 51 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.81, which works out at about 55 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Bolton have won one of their last five.
Stoke are unbeaten in their last five — four wins and one draw.

West Ham are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.7-1.1), and we make them about 67% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
