How do the experts see Wigan Athletic’s game against Fulham at Craven Cottage, let’s have a look at how the pundits and bookies see this game going at the weekend….
Mark Lawrenson has gone for a 2-0 home win at Craven Cottage on Saturday. The BBC pundit is currently lying 5th in the Cockney Latic Prediction League and that shows that he knows his stuff.
He said about his prediction; Fulham need to start winning games – that is now five league matches without a win for Mark Hughes’s team.
They desperately need to beat Wigan at home. The Cottagers will be pleased to have Andy Johnson back and he will need a few games to return to the form he showed before his injury – his pace is vital to the team.
With Wigan, you just do not know what you are going to get.
Of the Prediction League users (sponsored by Workit Recruitment) 25% are going for 1-0 away win for Latics, 13/1 on Betfair.
We both need the win, but injuries and a lack of depth could play into Wigan’s favour and hopefully secure a point or maybe three.
Betfair, the fastest growing betting site in the UK, they have it going the way of a 1-1 draw with odds of 7/1, 2-0 to the Latics is at 30/1 and 2-1 to Latics an 17/1 punt.
We are favourites to lose game at evens, but if you think we’ll nick we have odds of 7/2. So if betting is something you do, maybe a try of Betfair is something to consider.
Registration is easy, the odds are usually better than anywhere else (if there not you can ask for better) and to round it off, if your first bet loses they will refund it for you up to the value of £25. For instance, if you have £25 on Latics to beat Fulham at 7/2 you will be paid £112.50, if Latics don’t win – you get your £25 back.
