Sunday Premier League Betting: Wigan vs. Man City
by Nila Amerova
After shocking Chelsea 3:1 Wigan Athletic failed to carry the momentum against Hull City, succumbing to a 2:1 loss. Wigan will be looking to bounce back when they host Manchester City at DW Stadium on Sunday. City have been impressive this season and they will be tough to beat indeed.
Soccer Betting Line:
Wigan Athletic +½ +110 +350 2½ O -115 U -105 1 O -105 U -115 Draw +260
Manchester City -½ -130 -130 2½ O -115 U -105 1½ O -115 U -105 Draw +260
Match Time: 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time Sunday October 18, 2009
Soccer Betting Verdict: Wigan currently reside in the middle of the table after hauling nine points with a 3-0-5 mark in eight cycles. More recently, they have enjoyed a positive trend at home, including the big win over Chelsea. Wigan will hope to extend their two-match winning streak at DW Stadium at the expense of an on-form Man City.
Man City have enjoyed a good run of results so far and currently hold a spot in the top four. They have 16 points from seven cycles – 5-1-1. Their home form has been excellent but their road form has seen a marked decline lately. They are after a loss to Man U and a draw to Aston Villa. Man City will be looking to get back to winning form on their travels at DW Stadium.
The market favours an away win with Manchester City coming in at favourite odds of -130. Looking at their season so far as a whole, they are the tempting play. As concerning as their recent slip in form is that it came to quality outfits in Man U and Aston Villa is telling. Wigan are not in such a league and therefore Man City still look good for the win.
Man City have enough firepower to suggest the combined totals at Over 2 ½ -115 would be a good bet as well as covering the team totals at Over 1 ½ -115.
