Arsenal v Wigan Betting Odds
Arsenal 2/7, Draw 9/2, Wigan 9/1 at Paddy Power
Arsenal go into the weekend’s round of matches with a five point lead over Spurs in the race for third spot. It has been a tremendous turnaround in form from Arsenal from the first half of the season, and with seven wins in their last eight matches, a lot of credit is due to Arsene Wenger. Sure, they have the massive asset of Robin van Persie, and his goals have carried the team, but the team behind him has gotten stronger and stronger over the course of the season. The Gunners have rattled off five wins from their last five home matches in the league, and have kept clean sheets in their two at the Emirates. Better reading than that, the Gunners have kept four clean sheets in their live five Premier League matches home and away. So they are in great form, and with twelve wins, two draws and two defeats at home this season, they are a strong bet. Arsenal have averaged just over two goals per game at home, and their mean defence is only conceding at a rate of 0.75 per game. Arsenal have only failed to score in one home game this season. So, unbeaten in five at home, their last home game producing a win over Manchester City, can Arsenal seal the deal on third spot?
Wigan did their chances of surviving a world of good, when they turned in a wonderful home performance to beat leaders Manchester United last week. Wigan boss Roberto Martinez has fervently stuck to his football philosophy, and Wigan’s good passing game has finally started to reap the rewards it deserves. The Latics were unlucky to come away from Stamford Bridge without a point in the match prior to the Man Utd fixture, but that defeat against Chelsea remains their only loss in the last six matches. So Wigan are actually in pretty good form, having lost only two of the last ten. They are fighting for their lives, but they are doing it in style. It has been a tough run in for Wigan, but they are hanging in there, and their form may just get them over the line. But just because they turn up and surprise a very tepid Manchester United, doesn’t mean that they are going to go to the Emirates and grab another three points. They will be heavy underdogs for the match, even though their away form has been decent, with just one loss in their last four away matches, a win away at Anfield coming in that run. Wigan have only won four matches away from home this season, and while another would be timely, they only average a goal per game away from home and have only kept one clean sheet all season on their travels. They are the best footballing side of the relegation candidates, and a point away at Arsenal at this stage would be momentous
