Premier League, round 3; Bolton Wanderers (9th, 3pts), West Bromwich Albion (18th, 0pts); Saturday, August 30 (1500 BST); Reebok Stadium, Bolton
Prediction Thomas Mathew, goal.com, Bolton v West 1-0
Bolton, playing at home, will be looking to take all three points from the newly-promoted side. West Brom on the other hand, will be desperate to get off the mark and could see Bolton as their first realistic opportunity to chalk up some points. Bolton will struggle to find the net without Elmander leading the line whilst Tony Mowbray last week bemoaned West Brom’s lack of strike power. The Baggies have bagged only one goal in their two games so far this season and that came from the penalty spot. Mowbray may well be ruing the departure of Kevin Phillips, who has had no trouble scoring for his new club, Birmingham City. It is therefore unlikely to be a game of many goals. Premiership experience and home advantage may result in Bolton scraping a victory. A fairly even game could end in a 1-0 victory for Bolton. West Brom may leave feeling, once again, hard done by. Mowbray would be further exasperated by his sides apparent lack of firepower, especially if Kevin Phillips nets again in the Championship.
