WIGAN vs MIDDLESBROUGH (EPL)

Boro do not have Andrew Taylor, Gary O'Neill, Pogatetz, Huth, Tuncay and Arca. That's a lot of important players out for them. Jonathan Grounds will start for Boro, which means that Amir Zaki is going to have a field day and bag a hat trick. The JJB is a tricky place for teams to visit as the pitch is shite and quite small, which means Boro will have a tough time counterattacking. Together with Palacios dominating the midfield, and Downing missing penalties, Wigan will win this one.

Roland's prediction: $5 on Wigan -0.5 @ 2.075 = $10.375

boro might be missing a whole host of players, but wigan's defence is not the best in the world. they will face aliadiere, afonso alves, and mido, who on their day, can create some real havoc. didier digard has also shown signs of being a rather useful player for boro, and i think his combative nature will be brilliant when dealing with the monster himself, mr wilson palacios. seeing that the handicap means a draw would win full, i think boro are worth backing.

Eddy's prediction: $5 on boro +0.5 @ 1.825 = $9.125
