WIGAN VS SUNDERLAND-BETTING ODDS AND PREDICITONS

In what is one of the most evenly contested match ups of the weekend, Wigan take on Northerners in the form of Sunderland. With Sunderland sitting pretty at 10 on the log, one would assume that this might be a one sided affair; however Wigan are a team to watch out for.
From the team line up perspective Wigan midfielder Charles N'Zogbia should be getting a run after being left out after the win over Spurs two weeks ago, and keeper Chris Kirkland is fit again following his hip injury. On the Sunderland end new signing Asamoah Gyan is expected to make his Sunderland debut
Betfair place home team Wigan as slight favourites for this clash at 2.58, with Wigan following closely at 3.05. These team are very evenly matched which means that the draw set at 3.4 looks the bet to follow.
On the scorer markets Colombian Hugo Rodallega is put down as favourite to score at 2.75, with an opener registering at 7.0- not too adventurous considering Wigan poor scoring record thus far. An equally frightening statistic when taking this into consideration is that Wigan have yet to score a goal at home this season...yet have conceded 10.
Good news for Sunderland and particularly Darren Bent fans after this week as he is priced as favourite to score at 2.2, with Asamoah Gyan not too far behind at 2.87
Betfair once again offer some mouth-watering opportunities on the score betting front with a 0-0 result at 10, and a 1-0 home win at 9.
One must feel that Wigan are overpriced in this category, especially when reviewing their goal conceding record- with a 0-3 loss looking an absolute wild card..yet very real possibility at 55. But again...Sunderland have not exactly been pounding this them in
This is a matchup of two sides that have yet to impress. Both tasted victory against larger clubs two weeks ago; however the time has now come for them to make some real progress and build some foundation for the rest of their season.
This game is as tight as they come, however, and against the odds, Sunderland have the stronger line up...and as such...things should go their way this afternoon.
