West Brom v Wigan betting

West Brom take on Wigan on Saturday in a game that could have real impact on the bottom of the table come the end of the season. Both sides will be looking for all 3 points, but which side can improve on their poor recent form to take them? Or will it end all square like last season?

West Brom v Wigan odds

West Brom

West Brom are coming off the back of a tough run of recent fixtures which has only seen them pick of 7 points from their last possible 18. They are though, currently sitting fairly clear of the relegation zone in 14^th place. Roy Hodgson will fancy his chances against bottom of the league Wigan, and with their home advantage they are clear favourites. The best odds on a home win come from Paddy Power at 1.73, but a 2-0 correct score is looking even better at 8.8 from Betfair. Shane Long is back with a bang after his knee injury and scored in West Brom’s last game out at Q.P.R. The Irish striker should be considered a good bet then, to score at any time with 2.3 also at Paddy Power. West Brom’s games so far this season have averaged 3 goals, so betting on over 2.5 goals is looking good with 1.85 at Bet365.

Wigan

Wigan are having a tough time of it at the moment, they are bottom of the league and have just 1 win to their name in their last 12 games in all competitions. It doesn’t make pleasant reading for Wigan fans and they are clear outsiders with odds of 6.0 available from Betfred. Of course they did win away at Sunderland a few weeks ago, but that came down to a defensive mistake at the back. The main problem for Roberto Martinez this season has been scoring goals, they have really missed Charles N’Zogbia and have only managed 12 goals in the league all season. Franco Di Santo looks Wigan’s most likely source of a goal after netting 4 so far this season, and the big striker is a good price at 12.0 with Bet365. Their lack of goals also means that there is some real value to be had in betting on both teams to score in the first half. Skybet are offering odds of 4.5 which are definitely worth an outside bet.
