Newcastle vs Wigan Betting odds

On Monday Wigan will travel to Newcastle and the home team will be hoping for a return to form.

Newcastle are currently placed 14th in the league with just 14 points, Wigan though are one place below also with 14 points.

Despite the recent lack of form from Newcastle, the bookies think that they are likely to win this one with odds of 20/19 available, Wigan have odds of 3/1 on a victory.

Newcastle has lost the last four matches and desperately need a win. Wigan on the other hand have won two of their last five and lost three.

On paper Wigan definitely looks to be the better team and a draw is a definite possibility (odds of 38/15 available).

Both sides are suffering from injuries, Newcastle are missing players such as Steven Taylor, Ben Arfa, Ameobi, Obertan and Cabaye while Wigan are missing Crusat, Watson, Miyaichi, Maloney, Alcaraz and Ramis. As a result the match could be a slower, low scoring affair.

Overall this looks like it will be a match between two suffering team. However, it’s still likely to be full of drama as both of them will be eagerly seeking some much needed points.
