Match preview

Our model makes Southampton clear favourites, giving them a 79% chance of winning against 12% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 1.27 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 4.3 goals in total (3.22 for Southampton, 1.07 for Bolton), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Southampton sit 5th on 23 points; Bolton are 19th on 14.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
