WIGAN VS LIVERPOOL PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS
_0.jpg)
Plenty of value on offer as Liverpool visit Wigan today for the Monday Premiership clash. You can expect a fairly thorough encounter here with 3 very valuable points up for grabs. Wigan are hovering just a couple of points off the relegation zone while Liverpool find themselves in a four-way battle for fourth place. This is a must-win for both teams, but Liverpool will be expected to take this one, and that may open the door slightly for Wigan Athletic.
William Hill lists Liverpool at 4/7 to win the match while Wigan are listed at 11/2. The draw can be backed at a 13/5 price and that may be a popular option with Wigan supporters.
The favoured correct score margin looks like a 1-0 victory to Liverpool and that trades at a slim 7/2. Liverpool 2-0 pays out at 9/2 while a 3-0 victory for the Reds rewards at an 8/1 margin. A 1-1 draw is 11/2 while 1-0 to Wigan pays 11/1. I like Wigan to win 2-1 at 18/1, and I think that could be the result if Liverpool play a poor match.
Liverpool to win both legs of the double result pays out at 11/8 while draw/Liverpool sits at 3/1. Draw/draw stands at 9/2 while Wigan/Wigan rewards at a solid 11/1 price.
The Latics will be looking to Hugo Rodallega at 9/4 anytime and 15/2 first or last. Jason Scotland is 11/4 anytime and 8/1 first or last while Marcelo Moreno can be backed at identical prices. Charles N’Zognia can be backed at 4/1 anytime and 11/1 first or last. Maynor Figueroa can be backed at 12/1 to score anytime.
Fernando Torres is set to feature again and he is odds-on to score at 4/5 anytime and 10/3 first or last. Steven Gerrard sits at 5/4 anytime and 5/1 first or last (similar prices to Dirk Kuyt). Yossi Benayoun is 2/1 to score anytime and he’s been a thorn in Wigan’s side for a while- scoring against them in their last two encounters. David Ngog trades at 6/4 to score anytime.
I think Liverpool need an effective and organized performance to take this one. Wigan haven’t been their usual selves this year and have tended to roll over once they get a goal down. I think the first strike is absolutely key here and if Wigan can frustrate Liverpool for the first 45 minutes then things could start playing into the favour. I think Liverpool should win this, but Wigan cannot be ruled out.
