Newcastle (12th) 2-3-3 LDWWD
Owen has proved to be the tailsman for the club. Following his debut, he has scored 2 goals for the club and is looking as sharp as ever. After scoring again for England, he will be looking to building his reputation as the most prolific scorer in the premiership.
Newcastle is the slight favorite to win the fixture today. However, away fixture has not been in Newcastle's favor. A draw seems probable results.
Verdict
Expect a tight game, with more defensive play. Newcastle is missing a few key players and will depend on long passes, exploiting Owen's electric pace to settle the game. Wigan will go offensive expecting to score an early goal and defend the lead. Expect Stephane Henchoz's to play a major role in stopping Owen. A 1-1 draw (3.15) seems probable. Wigan at 3.2 may be a good bet.
