Tonight at 20:00 GMT Manchester City will host the game against Wigan for the 32nd match day of Premier League. This is a very important game for both teams as at one hand, Manchester City wants the win in order to reach the fourth position that leads to Champions League playoffs and on the other hand, Wigan needs the three points of the win in order to expand the distance from the relegation zone.

Manchester City is currently at the 6th position with 53 points after 30 games. Their home record is 9 wins, 4 draws and just 1 defeat (last week from Everton with a 2-0 score). They scored 30 goals while they conceded 16. Wigan is currently on the 16th spot in Premier League standings with 31 points after 31 games. Their away record is 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 defeats. They managed to score 15 times while they conceded 39.

Manchester City lost a great opportunity to reduce the margin from the fourth spot as they suffered a home defeat from Everton last week. It is certain that the Citizens will do whatever possible to win this one. On the other hand, Wigan secured a very important victory over Burnley which boost the team to the 16th spot. There are 7 more games until the end of the season and most likely Wigan will need to achieve two victories in order to be above the relegation zone (perhaps home wins against Portsmouth and Hull). The team knows that this is a hard match even for a draw but it is certain that Wigan will come down to the pitch with a highly defensive formation of 5-4-1 or 4-2-3-1.

The online sports books offer Manchester City’s home win down to 1.30 while the draw is at 4.75 and Wigan’s away win high up to 10.00. We should focus on two betting tips in order to maximize our winnings. First of all, I strongly believe that Manchester City will win this one. The first round match ended a draw (1-1) but then Manchester City was in worse form than it is now.

The first betting pick is on offer at 888sports.com and it is Manchester City’s home win with a -1 handicap which means that Manchester City needs to score at least two goals more than Wigan (2-0, 3-1 etc). The bet odds are high at 2.10 and it is a risk that it is worth taking.

The other interesting bet is the Over 2.5 goals where the odds are around 1.70.
