Tottenham v Wigan Premier League betting will get the focus back onto the pitch for Spurs. Boss Harry Redknapp is involved in a court case at the moment, so there is that distraction. So too was the defeat which they suffered in their last outing, so Spurs, who slipped up there against leaders Manchester City, need a big bounce back performance. Spurs had been flying high prior to that outing, going on a long unbeaten stretch. However, they were undone in controversial circumstances when City’s Mario Balotelli remained on the pitch to score the winner from the penalty spot, when Spurs wanted him sent off for allegedly stamping on Scott Parker’s head. This is the kind of fixture where Spurs need to show their grit and steel and although on paper, a home tie against Wigan looks a banker, Tottenham still have to deliver and not take their foot off the gas. After losing crucial ground on Manchester City, Spurs remain in third place, but now eight points back of the leaders, so all the Londoners can do now, is keep picking up three points and wait for the Manchester clubs to slip up. Spurs did run out winners against Watford in the FA Cup on Friday night, but they picked up some injury problems, with Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon looking unlikely to make the match on Tuesday night. Spurs will of course remember the shock result in this corresponding fixture from last season, when the Latics showed up at White Hart Lane and stole a 1-0 victory. No-one saw that coming then, and that is just the kind of surprise that Harry Redknapp’s men need to avoid if they are going to hang in contention for the league title. The London side naturally go as favourites in Tottenham v Wigan Premier League betting as they look to get back to wining ways in the Premier League. Even half of that nine goal mauling they handed out in this fixture two seasons ago would do nicely.
As for Wigan, well it is all struggles and woe at the moment, as the Latics have fallen to the bottom of the pile. After holding Chelsea and Liverpool to draws at home in back to back games, a mini revival looked on the cards for Roberto Martinez’s men, but that has all come unravelled as they have lost their last three matches straight now. That extends to a run of seven league matches without a win for Wigan now and with their lowly goal tallies, it is tough to see where the points are going to come from. However, out of Wigan’s only three victories this season in the Premier League, two of them have come away from home. This is just the sort of match in which upsets do occur and at least for the team talk, Roberto Martinez can remind him of Hugo Rodallego’s winning goal at White Hart Lane last season against the odds. He can also point to the fact that Spurs haven’t scored against the Latics in the last two meetings, so while Wigan are struggling both at the back and the front on the pitch, can they show up and throw another major spanner in the title works of Spurs? They will be buoyed by the arrival of midfielder Jean Beausejour who could give them a bit of thrust in the middle of the park and they will lean heavily on Hugo Rodallego again, who has netted two goals in his last three league matches. Yes, the odds are totally stacked against the visitors getting anything out of this Tottenham v Wigan betting, but they got the better of Spurs last season, can they come in fresh, after not having played on the weekend and battle their way to a precious point? The Latics are in serious danger of getting left behind and the foot of the table and they need to show some fight.
