Wigan Athletic Birmingham City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game tends to be balanced, as the Odds convey us, as Wigan Athletic plays at home and Birmingham has been presenting excellent performances throughout the season. In spite of this, it is important to emphasize that the away team goes through some phase of confidence when it comes to finishing. Taking into account these factors, we think that the away team can conquer at least one point in this clash with Wigan.

Davies (90' ), for Wigan Athletic, and by D. Davis (44' ), for Birmingham City.

The home team is currently in the 16th position of the league, with 25 points won, after 7 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Derby County, by (0‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Ipswich Town, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually plays better at home, where they have won 21 points, against only 4 points in away matches. In the last 10 home league matches Wigan Athletic has a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 18 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 11 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 6 of the last 11 for this competition have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 22 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Wigan Athletic comes to this game unmotivated after having added a 1-0 away loss to Ipswich. It should be noted that the locals only has 2 wins in the last 10 games. In this home game, a condition in which it usually performs great games, coach Neil Harris should play in 4-2-3-1 favoring ball possession and the organized attacks, however, in some moments of the game he should risk only in the counter-attack. Nick Powell is the player who deserves attention in this team with 4 goals and 5 assists, however, is absent due to injury. In addition to this player, the coach can not count on Naismith due to suspension.

Confirmed Lineup: Christian Walton, Reece James , Kal Naismith, Cédric Kipré, Dan Burn, Nathan Byrne , Lee Evans, Sam Morsy , Josh Windass, Gary Roberts, James Vaughan.
Coach: L. Richardson.

Analysis Birmingham

The away team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 31 points won, after 7 wins, 10 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Bristol City, by (0‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Blackburn Rovers, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, with 19 goals scored and 12 conceded at home, against 13 goals scored and 15 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Birmingham City has a record of 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 30 possible.

In 22 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Birmingham comes to this game with a 2-2 away draw against Blackburn, registering the second straight game without winning in the championship: the team's goals were signed by Gardner and Adams.

Che Adams and Lukas Jutkiewicz are the Birmingham's top scorers with 10 goals singed. It is also important to emphasize that the away team presents great quality at the time of concluding. For this game the coach can not count on the injured Davis, Vassell, Morrison and Roberts.
