Bet up to £30 risk free on a Bolton victory
It's rare for a team besides the Champions League qualifiers, Manchester City and Liverpool to be [1.6] to win a Premier League game, and as Blackpool's form has seen them shrug off the mantle of relegation favourites, that price must be viewed as a compliment to the fine job Owen Coyle is doing at Bolton.
Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £30 on this match or anything else that catches your eye within seven days of signing up and any losing wagers will be refunded, so there's no absolutely no risk involved.
The Trotters are fifth in the table and on their best run in two-and-a-half years having collected ten points from their last four games, a set of results that surely sees Coyle ranked as the frontrunner to receive November's manager of the month award provided it doesn't all go wrong against Blackpool.
There's no reason to believe it will, given that Liverpool are the only club to have turned over the Trotters at the Reebok Stadium since early April (no credit for that feat goes to Roy Hodgson though, if you ask most Liverpool fans!), and the Seasiders' away record hasn't been as impressive recently.
While there's always a worry that a usually unfancied side that come in for a lot of praise are being set up for a fall - see West Brom's plummet from fourth to 16th over the last month - there are two things that will have travelling Blackpool supporters doubting their chances of avoiding defeat.
Ian Holloway's men were 2-1 victors against Wolves last week but have followed their four previous top-flight triumphs with a draw and three losses and their top scorer Marlon Harewood, who has netted two of their last four goals, will miss out after tearing his hamstring in a training session.
Disagree that Bolton will win again? Blackpool can be backed at [6.8]...
