Stoke City - Wigan Athletic betting tips and odds

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Stoke City are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Wigan Athletic and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.75.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Stoke City and the fact that Wigan Athletic are given 6.00 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Wigan Athletic victory would be a shocking surprise.

The hosts had a great shot at beating West Bromwich Albion in their previous home game, and even earned a lead in the early game. Sadly, though, they also ended up losing the lead in the latter part of the game, which lead to an unexpected 1:2 defeat.

With Championship betting odds decidedly against them and a home-field disadvantage, the away team’s chances of winning the previous round were incredibly slim. They predictably lost 1:0, though the narrow goal difference adds some silver lining to that outing.

Only 1 or fewer goals were scored during the course of Wigan Athletic’s previous two away games. An Under 1.5 Goals market might be worth considering here.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Stoke are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Tuesday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

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 1.92. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
