Stoke vs Wigan: Top Free Betting Tips

Stoke City will be determined to find a winning result when they see bottom-placed Wigan Athletic in the next game on Tuesday, 18 April. The Potters lost to West Brom in the previous match while the Latics dropped three points against Blackpool.

Match Result Prediction: Stoke to Win

Stoke City have a tally of three wins, three draws and two defeats before this game. However, Wigan Athletic have suffered three consecutive defeats before this game. The Latics are also without a victory in the away fixtures since the mid of October 2022 and lost five of the previous six. In the H2Hs, Stoke City have defeated Wigan in four of the last six meetings. Hence, we imagine the Potters are strong enough to take the lead in this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: No

Wigan Athletic have been terrible on the offensive end and failed to score a single goal in the last three matches. On the other hand, Stoke City have managed to find the back of the net in three of the previous five league affairs. The Potters have also been admirable at the back by claiming three clean sheets in the same course. Three of the previous five H2Hs of these teams have ended without BTTS outcomes. Given the current situation, we predict the same trend to be followed in this game with only Stoke on the scoring side.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Stoke

Stoke City have succeeded to score more than once in only one of the previous five league affairs. The Potters have also averaged only one goal per game in the same number of fixtures at Bet365 Stadium. On the other hand, Wigan Athletic have also conceded only one goal in four of the previous five matches away from DW Stadium, despite losing consecutively. Therefore, Stoke City are likely to find a narrow margin of 1-0 at the end of the ninety minutes.

Stoke vs Wigan: Form, Recent Games, and News

Stoke City Preview

Despite Jacob Brown’s goal in the 30th minute, the Potters tasted a defeat in the last game against West Bromwich. The Baggies’ Jayson Molumby scored a double to seal a comeback in the 59th and 69th minute of the match. Manager Alex Neil will have to contend with three fitness issues when the team aims to secure all three points in this game.

Players to Watch: Jacob Brown (Stoke)

You can't really expect much from Stoke when it comes to goals but they have to win this match at home. And we have selected Jacob Brown as our focus man for this match. He is both one of their top goal scorers this season, as well as Stoke's most booked player in the current season in the Championship. Honestly, we find better value in the yellow card option here.

Wigan Athletic Preview

The Latics faced a second consecutive away defeat in the previous attempt against Blackpool at  Bloomfield Road. Jerry Yates scored the only goal of the game in just the second minute of the game for a 1-0 lead. The trouble for head coach Shaun Maloney continues as there are three players to miss the game due to injuries. 

Players to Watch: Will Keane (Wigan)

Wigan have not been very effective in attack this season and there is only one player that stands out – Will Keane. The striker has 10 goals in the Championship this season in 40 games. It may not be a lot but given that the team has the 2nd weakest attack in the league, he literally has 1/3 of their goals.
