Wigan Athletic - Norwich City betting tips and odds

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Wigan Athletic on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Norwich City should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 2.15, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

Wigan Athletic are probably reasonably satisfied with the result of their previous Championship match at Bristol City . They went into it as clear underdogs with a home-field disadvantage, and things only seemed direr at half-time. They somehow scraped together a 1:1 draw, however, and not a lot of people saw it coming.

With a home-field advantage on their side and largely favourable betting odds, Norwich City were expected to easily win their previous Championship match against Hull City. They indeed won 3:1, but not before failing to gain the upper hand for more than half the game’s runtime.

A quick look at recent history shows us that Wigan Athletic don’t tend to fare too well at The DW Stadium despite the home-field advantage. Results aside, they’ve conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone.

With their recent performances in mind, we can expect Norwich to perform quite well offensively. They recorded over 5 goals in their latest 3 away games – the lack of home-field advantage isn’t a big factor for them.

These two teams reached a stalemate earlier in this season of the Championship. Norwich were expected to win that game and even had the support of their home fans. The roles are reversed this time, but the 2.15 betting odds for an away win tell us they still have a decent shot at redeeming themselves.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.75. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
