PREVIEW
Following a lot of truly impressive results, Norwich finally suffered their off day and got turned over by Martin O'Neill's resurgent Sunderland. Good thing too, as they will likely have their concentration refocused for Bolton, who they could likely have taken for granted, had they won. Bolton come here following a great result, blanking and drawing with Arsenal 0-0 to climb out of the relegation zone, but only just.
Norwich have been doing very well, and are 11th as things stand, well above Bolton, who are 17th. Norwich have scored 17 goals in 11 home games and if you look back through the last 6 games they have played, in all competitions in 2012, only Chelsea and Sunderland have blanked them. In all the other games, Norwich have netted more than once.
While Lambert will be hoping to see his team bounce back from that loss, Owen Coyle will hope his team can build on their recent run, where they will try and win for the 3rd straight time, something they have not done for almost a year. It won't be easy, for Bolton have conceded 22 goals in their 11 away games, that's 2 per game.
Bolton simply cannot stop conceding if they aren't playing at home. Their last 11 away games have seen them fail to come away with a clean sheet, which will be worrying as Norwich will surely have a good old go, and they have enough talent to score.
Bolton have some new faces in the team that will likely be given playing time, winger Ryo Miyaichi and striker Marvin Sordell have both come in and should start. Bolton will be out for revenge, which means they won't sit back. With both teams fancying this, I think there will be a lot of attacking play, meaning a fair share of goals.
BETTING VERDICT
The Over looks a decent bet, but as I see Norwich scoring, I'll go with the Canaries to do so at least twice, which pays 1.83 over at Bet365
