Wigan v Bristol City Betting Tips – Championship, 21st September 7.45pm
Wigan can be pretty pleased with their progress so far back up in the second tier. They have held their own and they picked up a good home win in midweek. They will get a good test in this one though against a Bristol City side who have won five of their last six games. But the Robins had their winning streak snapped in midweek. Read our predictions for Wigan v Bristol City.
Wigan News and Form
Wigan got themselves a really good home win over Hull in midweek which improved their home form in the Championship to W3 D1. That’s a pretty good return for newly promoted side. It does suggest that they can hold their own in this one. The draw in the match outright looks some value and on top of that we are going to look at the 5/1 odds appeal on the 1-1 correct score* (Betting Odds were taken from September 18th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.) .
Wigan have been scoring well on home soil with at least two goals in three of their four home fixtures this term. We feel that they can stick in there against a good Bristol City side. Will Grigg and Nick Powell are the joint-top-scorers for the Latics this season with three goals each. Grigg is running as the 3/2 outright favorite in the anytime goalscorer market* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on September 18th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.).
Bristol City News and Form
The Robins were on a great five-match winning streak, each of those successes coming with a clean sheet too, before a bit of a collapse in midweek. Their winning streak fired them up the table but their form was snapped in a big 4-2 defeat at the Hawthorns against West Brom on Tuesday. So they have to pick up the pieces of that fallout and it’s not always easy to recover when strong form has been broken. The one thing that it did at least do was continue their good scoring form. They have scored in all but one of their league games this season.
Andreas Weimann has been in good scoring form for them lately but Famara Diedhiou was on the scoresheet for them in midweek and he is at 13/2 odds in the anytime goalscorer market* (Betting Odds were taken from September 18th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.). Away from home in the Championship this season, Bristol City are W2 D1 L2 and they have picked up a clean sheet in two of those. Will the collapse against West Brom have put a rocket up them or will it have deflated them a bit?
Wigan v Bristol City Head to Head
The last time that Wigan and Bristol City met was in the 2016/17 Championship season and Bristol City had the better of things with back to back wins over the Latics. That is their only previous meetings in the Championship. There’s not a great deal of head to head history between them with Bristol City being 12-5 ahead with seven wins.
