WIGAN vs MAN CITY (EPL)

Well, Wigan are a very great side. They are hardworking and gutsy and like to boss the midfield with Palacios running around with his boundless energy. They also just beat Ipswich 4-1 and drew away at Spurs 0-0, so they should be full of confidence coming into this match. City just had a terrible loss and got eliminated out of the League Cup by Brighton. However, that City team was an Elano and Robinho-less side, and I think that these two Brazillians do possess the quality to unlock hardworking teams like Wigan. They're set to start the match, so I think City win.

Roland's prediction: $5 on Man City -0/0.5 @ 2.075 = $10.375

wigan have shown themselves to be no pushovers this season, with steve bruce making some really smart signings, such as amr zaki, and maynor figueroa. wilson palacios is a monster as well, so that helps. however, man city themselves are fantastic, with the mobility of shaun wright phillips, robingo and stephen ireland too much to handle for some defences. i think city will win this one, but i was on a claypot streak for quite long, so i'm gonna go for something safer. i fancy man city will score in the 1st half, and wigan won't, so i'll back man city level for the half-time result.

Eddy's prediction: $5 on man city level at HT @ 1.76 = $8.80
