WIGAN – FULHAM PREDICTION STATS

Wigan has managed 4 points from their 4 EPL games so far. Their defeats have come against top clubs, 2-0 at home to Chelsea and 4-0 away at Manchester United. Their win was away at Southampton and they managed a home draw with Stoke. Two of their 4 games have had over 2.5 Goals and both their defeats were by multiple goals.

Fulham has started the season very inconsistently, they have looked immense in their two home games, 5-0 vs Norwich and 3-0 vs WBA. But away from home they have suffered two losses, the most recent a poor 3-0 loss at West Ham. Their games have averaged 4.0 goals so far.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Wigan have a full strength squad to choose from and will probably name an unchanged side for the 3^rd match in a row.

Fulham are suffering from a long injury list which will keep players like Richardson, Diarra, Savies and Senderos out of the team again. They will be very happy with the start made by their new number 9 Dimitar Berbatov who bagged two goals in his first start since his move from Manchester United. I expect him to start alongside Rodallega again.

Wigan’s 3 at the back system that they began playing with midway through last year has seen their fortunes improve dramatically. It is especially effective against a team who play two main strikers like we have seen Fulham do, as both strikers are picked up by man markers and that leaves a spare man to cover.

1x2 BET WIGAN – FULHAM PREVIEW

Wigan are slight favourites at home and I’ll be banking that they can improve from their last match and that Fulham’s terrible away run will continue. William Hill are top price here at 2.5 so click here to get your bets on for a home win.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTIONS

The Asian market doesn’t find too much between the teams but give Wigan the slight handicap of -0.25 @ 2.12 with 188bet. I feel they will manage to get goals at home and their 3 at the back will be able to shackle the two strong Fulham strikers

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTIONS

Wigan games have had an average of 3 goals this season with Fulham games averaging a huge 4 goals per game. I’m betting this trend will continue and will be taking Over 2.5 Goals at 2.1 with Paddy Power as my bet.
