West Bromwich Albion - Wigan Athletic betting tips and odds

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.58 is a solid option. That said, Wigan Athletic may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

Considering what they’re up against, Wigan Athletic can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 6.50 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

West Bromwich Albion fans were quite hopeful during the half-time break in the previous round. The team managed to snatch an early lead against Burnley , who are a considerably stronger team. The Baggies couldn’t hold on to their advantage in the second half, however, resulting in a narrow away loss (2:1).

Unlike in this match, Wigan Athletic had the support of their home fans in the previous matchup. Unfortunately, they were still the clear underdogs compared to Luton Town and predictably lost the game 0:2 after spending most of the runtime playing from behind.

The Baggies’s form is fairly strong when it comes to offense – they netted 6 goals in the last three away games.

Wigan Athletic’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 7 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Wigan Athletic this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1.90, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
