Derby Vs Bolton Preview
After a second successive four-goal defeat and languishing in the relegation zone, the next Derby manager odds market favours Steve Cooper to replace under-pressure gaffer John Eustace. The former Blackburn man has just one win to his name this season and a bad result here has the potential to seal his fate.
As for Bolton, they have so far defied the Championship betting odds and are a healthy seven points clear of danger. Last season’s League One play-off winners picked up a valuable win at Charlton last time out with Sam Dalby scoring the only goal of the game at the Valley.
