MANCHESTER CITY VS WIGAN PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

Manchester City face a must-win situation today as they take on Wigan Athletic in their bid to maintain the pressure on the pack chasing fourth spot in the Premier League. Roberto Mancini’s men are considered very strong favourites to take the result here with Ladbrokes listing them as 1.33 favourites to get the result. The draw pays out at 4.5 while Wigan are listed at a lengthy 10.0. I think the draw is definitely in play, especially if City continue to underwhelm, but I don’t see Wigan winning this one without a spectacular cock-up from the hosts.

The favoured result appears to be a 2-0 victory to Manchester City at a 6.0 price with Ladbrokes. A 1-0 or 3-0 victory pays out at 7.5 while a 2-1 result pays 8.0. That’s the same price as a 1-1 draw. A 1-0 result to Wigan pays 13.0 while a 2-1 victory pays out at 29.0.
In regards to the half-time/full-time market City to take both halves is trading at a slim 1.72 while draw/city is probably your better bet at 4.5. City/Wigan is the big payout at 51.0.
Manchester City have four players who are odds-on to score in this fixture- Carlos Tevez is at 1.57, Emmanuel Adebayor is at 1.66, Craig Bellamy and Roque Santa Cruz are at 1.8. Adam Johnson trades at 2.75, while Stephen Ireland is listed at 3.25 alongside Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Hugo Rodallega is Wigan’s best-priced player at 4.5 with Jason Scotland listed at 5.0.
You can back Manchester City (-1.0) at a 2.0 price while Wigan (+1.0) is sitting at 3.0. A handicap draw, effectively backing Wigan to lose by a goal, pays out at 3.5. Manchester City to score in both halves is trading at 2.0 while Wigan to score in both halves sits at 9.0. City are 1.9 to win to nil while Wigan are 11.0 to do the same.
