Wigan Athletic v Stoke City betting preview

Dave Higgins - 9 Feb 2010

The visitors looks the value at the JJB Stadium

Football is all about momentum and the Potters have it in abundance going into Tuesday night's match. Saturday's 3-0 win over Blackburn was their result of the season and they will be confident of getting at least a draw against another Lancashire opponent this week.

Boylesports offer 12/5 that they draw the match, with Victor Chandler going 13/5 about the away win and it's hard to see Stoke being beaten considering how solid they are looking defensively right now.

Tony Pulis' team are unbeaten in their past six matches and William Hill's 3/4 that the match finishes in a draw or away win.

Wigan are 5/4 (Boylesports) to land the three points, with Athletic picking up a decent point at Sunderland on Saturday. Mohamed Diame finally broke his duck for the Latics and the Frenchman is 25/1 (William Hill) to open the scoring once again and potentially set Roberto Martinez's team on their way to a priceless victory.

However, with Hugo Rodallega (6/1 Paddy Power) firing blanks and Stoke akin to So Solid Crew at the back, it could be all about backing the 1-0 (9/1 Blue Square) and 2-0 (16/1 bet365) in their favour on Tuesday.
