Sheffield United - Wigan Athletic betting tips and odds

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Sheffield United and the 7.50 odds given to Wigan Athletic to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

Sheffield United are coming on the back of a hard-fought away win (0:1) at Norwich City in the previous round. A surprising goal in the second half paved the way for the narrow victory, much to the excitement of their fans.

It would be safe to say that Wigan Athletic were the underdogs in the previous round. The odds implied the game could have gone either way, but they were playing as the home team and the predictions weren’t too optimistic. However, they went into halftime with a lead and transitioned it into a 1:0 home win.

Records show that the last two times Sheffield United played as the home team, the matches ended with 1 or fewer goals between them and the opposition. This marks them as interesting for bets like Under 5 Goals – especially now, when they’re playing at Bramall Lane.

Betting predictions are anticipating fewer than 3 goals for this match based on previous performances. Namely, all 5 of Wigan Athletic’s most recent home games confirmed the Under 2.5 Goals market.

According to the recent head-to-head records, The Blades already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 1.51 odds on a home win.

Friday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

We recommend taking up 10Bet’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 4.50. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
