Wigan Athletic - Reading predictions

Though Wigan Athletic are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

Reading are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.21 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

All the punters who backed Wigan Athletic to get a draw from their latest League One trip must have had a crystal ball as this match was pretty hard to predict. Given the odds of to remain unbeaten, Wigan Athletic did exactly that after taking a first-half lead.

League One betting odds described the away team’s previous engagement as a rather close call, so it’s no surprise that it ended with a draw. The outcome is far from great news for The Royals, though, who were hoping that the home-field advantage will be enough to allow them to overcome the opposition.

Wigan Athletic’s last five League One appearances all ended with less than two goals on the final tally. With that in mind, an Under 2.5 Goals market might be something to consider.

Reading’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 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.

Wigan Athletic previously played this match as the visitors in a previous round of the League One and suffered a fairly narrow defeat. Most bookies believe things will end differently this time, pricing a home win at 2.40.

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

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 1xbet priced at 1.93 odds.
