Wigan Athletic vs BIRMINGHAM CITY: Best Bets
Wigan – 27/20
Draw – 21/10
Blues – 11/5
Birmingham showed great resilience and spirit to salvage a draw from two-nil down against Blackburn Rovers last weekend.
With 77 minutes on the clock, Garry Monk’s side looked down and out but two goals in three minutes was enough to nick a point.
Another away fixture beckons this weekend, with the Blues at 11/5 to claim three points at the DW Stadium.
Birmingham are currently 10th in the Championship table having acquired 31 points so far this season – six more than Wigan.
After two matches without a win, Birmingham will be hungry to notch a huge victory this weekend.
Monk’s side will take some stopping against a Wigan side that have won just one of their last nine Championship outings.
With that in mind, 2/1 for Birmingham to score two or more goals looks a huge price.
This tip has landed in seven of their last nine league games and 888sport customers should take those odds before kick-off.
The Latics have scored 23 goals in 22 Championship matches and Birmingham will be eyeing up a clean sheet here.
13/5 could turn out to be a huge price if the Blues defence remains organised from start to finish.
Birmingham’s strength lies in attack though and Che Adams could be the one to watch this weekend.
With seven goals in his last 10 games, Adams is a solid bet at 5/2 to get his name on the scoresheet at the DW Stadium.
At longer odds, 19/5 for Birmingham to score in both halves is worth a speculative punt.
The Blues will want to head into Christmas on a high and we could see plenty of goals in this encounter.
That 2/1 for over 1.5 away goals is the best bet ahead of this contest.
The Wigan floodgates could open if Birmingham grab an early opener and the travelling fans could have another happy journey home with a bit of luck.
Prediction: Wigan 1-2 Birmingham (10/1)
Bet of the day: Over 1.5 Blues goals (2/1)
Outside punt: Birmingham to score in both halves (19/5)
Enhanced Wincast: Lukas Jutkiewicz to score and Blues win (6/1)
