Wigan v Chelsea Betting and Match Preview:
Is this one as much of an away win banker in your football betting as it first looks? Certainly Chelsea are the major powerhouse in the Premier League as they start the season as defending Champions, but on the road last season they lost five matches, and one of them was a 3-1 loss against Wigan. That was a huge surprise in something of a topsy-turvy season for most clubs in the Barclays Premier league, but Chelsea of course redressed the balance on the final day of the season, when they hammered the hapless Wigan 8-0 at Stamford Bridge. This looks a stronger bet this time around for Chelsea to win, but it will be the first tricky test of the new season for them. Naturally they will start the match as strong favourites in the football betting, and not only because the Blues are so strong under Carlo Ancelotti, Wigan adversely, seem to be going backwards under Roberto Martinez. This puts the ball firmly in the court of the Premier League Champions, and no doubt betting will lean towards a comfortable and perhaps hefty victory for the Stamford Bridge crew. What can Wigan realistically get out of this match? A draw would be a step in the right direction after a howler on the opening day, and Martinez needs to use last season’s home win over Chelsea as a rallying point and perhaps mark them turning the corner. Betting should go towards a Chelsea win, which won’t bring wonderful odds on an outright bet, so play the Asian Handicap game with Wigan in the plus. That way, if the unexpected happens and Wigan do shut up shop for a draw, you will get more coverage and probably better odds Wigan Betting:
Poor Wigan have a lot of problems as they seem to be losing their grip on life in the Premier League. Roberto Martinez is an exciting manager who has promised a lot, but the players he has at the club just don’t seem to work into his way of thinking any more. That maybe down to him, or that maybe down to lack of funds in getting the types of players he wants into the club to move them forward. The 4-0 home defeat on the opening day against Premier League newcomers Blackpool will be an extremely bitter pill to swallow. There is much work to do in order to try and turn it around, but with the next game against such a strong side in Chelsea, the task is not being made much easier. But on the positive side, should they pull off another miraculous home result like they did last season, then it could just be the fillip that Martinez has been looking for. Nothing brings confidence like beating the Premier League Champions. In all honesty, the 8-0 thrashing at Stamford Bridge showed a complete gulf in class between the two teams, and Chelsea have the ability to turn on the afterburners away from home as well. Perhaps keeping the score respectable will be a pointer for your Wigan betting on this one, and the best they could hope for is to salvage a draw. On the whole it looks unlikely though, with not enough class on the pitch to contain a strong Chelsea side. The longer they keep things tight, the more frustrated Chelsea will be, and Wigan will need to use long balls as their most dangerous weapon. It could be another torrid afternoon for Wigan and their fans, and your football betting should reflect that by leaning towards a Chelsea win.
Chelsea Betting:
Anytime Goalscorer bets are always worth a punt, and naturally with Chelsea you look towards Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Florent Malouda who is starting to come into his own as just as much of an influential player. Chelsea don’t really change much in their system when they go away from home, as coach Carlo Ancelotti likes his consistency, and that is why you won’t see major changes in the side unless injuries occur. Realistically as a football betting tip, Chelsea should be a good couple of goals better than Wigan, but in their last three visits to Wigan, they haven’t managed more than two goals in any of the appearances. That is something to bear in mind for your football betting strategy on this one. A two goal winning margin for Chelsea would probably bring home the bacon, because, as mentioned above the void between the two sides seem to be growing at the moment. Chelsea really had to scrap and grind out some away results last season, but in this early part of the new proceedings, players should be a lot fresher, and if you count the 8-0 drubbing of Saturday’s opponents at the end of last season, that’s fourteen goals in two Premier League games for Chelsea. Can Wigan live with that at all? Absolutely not. Anything can happen on the day of course, but you have to look at averages and statistics when making your football bets, and everything points to Chelsea maintaining a 100% record at the start of the new season. However comfortable or uncomfortable it may be, it should be three points in the bag for Chelsea.
