Beware Halloween Wanderers

Friday night’s Championship game is the classic case of the league table telling a lie. On paper it’s a top-six side at home to a team in the bottom three, but that hardly begins to tell the full story.

In truth, Norwich have been in a pretty bad slump ever since they reached the top of the table a month ago. Since then, the Canaries have embarked on a five-game winless sequence which hasn’t even included any fixtures against sides in the top-8.

Meanwhile, Bolton are resurgent since Neil Lennon took the helm having won two of their last three and played well in the other outing. They should be nothing like 6/1 (Betfair Sportsbook) to triumph at Carrow Road and we should back them before the market catches up.
