Wigan Vs Newcastle

Wigan (8th)4-2-1 WWDWW

Wigan has beaten Bolton (2-1) home, Sunderland (1-0) home, Everton (1-0) away, West Brom (2-1) away and draw with Middlesbrough (1-1). The two games that they suffered defeat were against the table top two. They also managed to snatch a win against Bournemouth in the carling cup. Impressive club record for a newly promoted team. Confidence is riding high and expect them to produce a fine performance against Newcastle today.

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.
