Best Tip: Wolves to win

As the stadium fills and the Wolves players ready themselves for this match, the bookies are predicting a win for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we use in our predictive algorithms. The Molineux Stadium has not been a successful away day for Bolton in the past, and we we think that will be the case again on Tuesday evening. A win / draw / win home win is our tip.
