Football League sponsors Sky Bet have installed leaders Wigan Athletic as clear favourites to beat visitors Peterborough United in today`s League One clash.
Wigan Athletic -Vs- Peterborough United
Venue: DW Stadium
Date: Saturday, 13th January, 2018
Kick-off: 15:00pm
Just like Aston Villa were installed as clear favourites beat Posh last week in the FA Cup, todays hosts, Wigan Athletic are also favourites to beat Posh in League action.
The Latics have only lost one of their 13 home League matches this season and are two points clear of second place and seven ahead of third place. They are determined to beat Posh especially after they keep bringing up the “lap of honour” which Posh did after they beat the Latics at the ABAX Stadium earlier this season despite Posh doing that at every home game regardless of the result!
Away from home, Posh have a very even record with four wins, five draws and four League defeats. Posh have only lost one match out of their last eight matches in all competitions which culminated in a three-one victory over Aston Villa last weekend which was followed up by a 7-6 penalty win over Luton Town in the third round of the Checkatrade Trophy.
Regardless of the form of Posh in recent weeks, it is the form of the Latics over the whole course of the season that make them clear favourites with odds of 1/2 for the win. Posh have odds of 11/2 while the draw is priced at 7/2.
There have been twelve different predictions voted for with three of those going for a Posh victory! Those victories are one-nil, two-one and five-one! You can get odds of 18/1, 18/1 and 250/1 respectively for those scores!
There have been two draws voted for but all the other votes have been for a Latics victory ranging from one-nil to five-nil! There was one score that ran away with the predictions though receiving 30.56% of the votes. That was for a two-nil Latics win which has odds of 13/2.
