Tottenham v Wigan > 31 Jan


Recommended Posts

Re: Tottenham v Wigan > 31 Jan Prediction: Under 2.5 goals. I'm only making this bet because the current price is so good. Wigan have failed to score on 9/22 occasions this season. They have the second worst defence, but also the worst attack. 7 out of the last 8 Tottenham PL games have finished under 2.5 goals (including recent 1-0 home wins against Sunderland, Wolves and West Brom). I don't think Wigan are that likely to score, plus Tottenham's recent run suggests they are looking to tie up more narrow victories by slowing down once they have the lead (at home anyway). Against West Brom, for instance, they had 68% possesion and restricted them to 2 shots on target all game. Current high of 2.64 is too good to pass up IMO (@ BF).

Re: Tottenham v Wigan > 31 Jan Punters should remember this game played at White Hart Lane throws up many of surprises. Wigan have won here 1-0 twice in a row in the league, at similar long odds. The year before that Spurs won 9-1 :eek 1-0 Wigan at small stakes is 48-1 on Betfair for anyone interested ;)

Re: Tottenham v Wigan > 31 Jan On paper you think that Wigan are going to leak 8 goals here against a Tottenham side, but it will depend on the FA cup results as well as how Tottenham responds to their recent defeat against Man City. Tottenham have been playing excellent football but form never lasts in the Premier league and they could easily be sloppey and underestimated Wigan and conceade goals.

Re: Tottenham v Wigan > 31 Jan

this game will probably be under for 70 minutes when it will then go over lol. i think adebayor to score a goal is nice bet
Any reasoning to go with that mate?
Spurs -1 has to be the way to go at 11/20 in an acca along with liverpool and man city is imo looking good especially when a tenner is returning 50.
:welcome to PL. We do ask for some reasoning to accompany every pick in the footie threads - doesn't have to be an essay, just a couple of lines will suffice. If you'd rather just post up your bets as you have here, then please feel free to use the threads in the Unreasoned Bets forum here: http://forum.punterslounge.com/threads/126279-Midweek-Bets-gt-31-Jan-2-Feb :ok

Re: Tottenham v Wigan > 31 Jan Tottenham -2 (EH) @ 2.67 centrebet Wigan may be last but they still like to knock the ball around and this should allow Spurs to play their own passing game to very good effect, as they have some quality in midfield for this to occur. Wigan have allowed at least two goals in 7 of their last 10 away games, and allowed at least 3 goals in 5 of these games, with the likes of Man Utd (5-0) and Man City (3-0) enjoying some emphatic wins over them at home. Hard to see Wigan scoring here, even though they have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, as they are coming up against a very good defence that has allowed just two goals in their last 7 home games. Spurs need to keep winning to have any chance of closing the gap with Man City, so expecting them to come out and win this game well

it usually takes a while for cracks to appear in wigans play. in most games they start strong but fade as the game goes on. i feel tottenham will want to get back on track in title race and will secure a confident win. i'd say 3-1

Re: Tottenham v Wigan > 31 Jan Spurs must continue to play and wait for Manchester (City and United) errors, which must sooner or later occur. Main advantage of the Spurs this season is his ability to play against weaker clubs. They know how to shake the defensive of closed playing teams. Although Wigan just not deserves to call them "closed" because it receives 45 goals in 22 rounds. It also turns out an average of more than 2 goals per game. Obvious difference in class, plus a home stadium, plus the desire not to go far from Manchester should ultimately result in a fairly convincing victory of Tottenham in this match. Tottenham -1.75 @ 1.84 Ladbrokes

Re: Tottenham v Wigan > 31 Jan Well done Tottenham backers, I always love supporting Wigan in the league, as I love their play style and Roberto Martinez! But there were always going to be up against it! Wigan did create chances to score but were soo close to converting, Di Santo was a cm from giving Wigan the lead, though those 3 strikes from Modric and two from Bale was world class.

FT: 3-1 .. After back to back losses in the Premier League England (9 in a row) time to go streaking, postive.
