Essential Stoke City vs Wigan Predictions & Tips

Lackluster Wigan is going up against Stoke City on the 18th of April at Bet365 Stadium. The Stoke City vs Wigan betting tips aren’t the only ones our football experts compiled for you this week! We have plenty of more Championship predictions for free on our website.

Stoke City to Win

With four victories for coach Alex Neil’s side and one loss in the last five games between the two teams, it’s fair to consider the Potters the dominant force in this rivalry. Wigan’s last success over Stoke City came on the 30th of June, 2020, when they emerged victorious at home.

However, time hasn’t been too kind on Wigan and it seems like the visitors will spend the 2023/24 season in League One as they are at the bottom of the table with 34 points to their name.

Over 3.5 Bookings

Desperate Wigan will try anything out to get the three points. To do so, they probably won’t shy away from a challenge at Bet365 Stadium on Tuesday. With four yellow cards in the Blackpool game a couple of days ago, coach Shaun Maloney’s boys are certainly not going to go easy on Stoke either.

The latter are one of England’s famous defensive-oriented teams. That’s why we got to see five yellow cards and one red card for Stoke City’s players in the match against West Bromwich Albion on the 15th of April. The visitors also got booked twice. Surely, Tuesday’s clash will be a gladiator fight between Stoke and Wigan as well.

Stoke City odds: 57/100 (1.57) – 62.0%

Draw odds: 3/1 (4.00) – 21.0%

Wigan odds: 22/5 (5.40) – 17.0%

Seeing as Wigan are at the bottom of the table in the Championship, the 22/5 (5.40) that suggests a 17.0% win probability on Tuesday should tempt no one. Stoke City are the expected winners with a massive 62.0% likelihood of securing the three points while a draw is valued at 3/1 (4.00)21.0% likelihood.

Stoke City vs Wigan Lineups & Team News

Stoke City

The Potters’ last Championship game was a disgrace for a couple of reasons. First of all, coach Alex Neil’s boys were doing great in the first 45 minutes. They were leading West Bromwich Albion 1-0 on the stroke of halftime but a lovely Jayson Molumby brace in the second half of the game turned the tides for a come-from-behind 1-2 victory for the visitors.

Predicted lineup – Bonham (GK), Hoever, Wilmot, Fox, Sterling, Pearson, Laurent, Brown, Smallbone, Campbell & Gayle

Wigan

With only a couple more games yet to be played, Wigan’s survival chances are almost non-existent. The team is at the bottom of the table with barely 34 points accumulated throughout eight victories, 13 draws, and 21 losses. That’s the sort of lackluster display that forced us to provide you with these Stoke City vs Wigan predictions.

Predicted lineup – Amos (GK), Rekik, Whatmough, Hughes, Nyambe, Power, Naylor, Aasgaard, McClean, Keane & Lang

Player to Watch: Lewis Baker

With Ben Pearson out for Tuesday’s game due to his suspension, coach Alex Neil’s team will have a hole at the center of the park. That is if Lewis Baker didn’t play either. The latter is in formidable form this season. Not only is he bossing the midfield with his relentless composure but he’s also one of the top scorers on the team.

With seven goals and five assists to his name, Lewis Baker is truly a key part of our Stoke City vs Wigan predictions and we’re sure he’ll have a great game on the 18th of April.
