Wigan vs Stoke: Top Free Betting Tips

Off the back of a terrible losing streak, Wigan Athletic go up against Stoke City in the upcoming EFL Championship fixture on Wednesday, 2 November. The Potters have also been quite the same in the previous attempts with three successive defeats before this game.

Match Result Prediction: Stoke to Win

Though both teams have been desperate in recent outings, Stoke City are slightly better than Wigan Athletic on paper. The Latics have lost four of the last five home duels and have confirmed only one home victory this season so far. However, Stoke City kept a four-match unbeaten streak at away venues before the last visit. The Potters have also registered three victories in the previous four competitive league H2Hs against the Latics. So we predict Stoke City finding a victory in this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Wigan Athletic’s front line has lagged in the recent outings and rattled the net only four times in the previous five outings. Stoke City have also scored a total of six goals in the same course, scoring more than once in two of them. Three of the previous five league H2Hs between these teams have also ended with below 2.5 goals. As both teams enter the field after successive defeats, we don’t see this game scoring a high total in this meeting as well.

Correct Score Prediction: 0-2 to Stoke

Stoke City have shown a strong performance defensively in the latest away outings and kept three clean sheets in the last four visits. Wigan has already failed to score in two of the previous five home games. But the Latics were unable to keep a clean sheet in any of the previous five attempts and leaked nine goals in that duration. So we predict only the Potters to get on the scoresheet. But as they have scored low numbers in most of the recent games, the result of 0-1 seems the most probable pattern for this game.
