Tip and bets

1.79Fulham with a head start (-1.5)

We believe that the difference in class will affect this pair. "Wigan" has not had any success even in the First League and is now far from being at the peak of its form in order to compete on equal terms with a representative of the Premier League. Plus, Fulham has been distinguished throughout the season by its ability to adapt to different opponents and change the tactical pattern of the game. We are waiting for a confident victory in the performance of the guests.

Our forecast is for Fulham to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) by a factor of 1.79

1.62total more than 2.5 goals

Bet on the total

We are waiting for at least three goals scored in the match, given the significant difference in class and the current statistics of the opponents. First of all, we are starting from the guests, in three of the last five matches of which at least three goals were scored.

The second bet is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.62

The first half bet

Let's pay attention to the fact that Fulham is not very confident in the opening stages and has not won in the first half in the previous five matches. We think that it is in this segment of the game that the hosts will be able to hold off the opponent from the Premier League today.

Prediction – Wigan will not lose in the first half with a coefficient of 2.10
