Firstly, the 4 points placed on the weekend's successful selection at 10/11 takes the blog bankroll to £1057.72.
The game went pretty much as expected. Poor defending was evident in both teams and based on that display it is no surprise they are both battling in the bottom half of the table. Wigan were by far the more wasteful in front of goal with 6 of their 13 attempts being off target. Rodallega guilty of the worst miss when through on goal.
Wolves were more clinical going forward and hit the target 12 out of 13 times. Al Habsi performed a couple of miracle saves and it could have been 4 or 5-1 without his acrobatics. However, the Wolves defence was shown up once again. I get the sense this season that they miss a player with the characteristics of Mancienne to provide that additional mobility and tackling in front of the back four. With Karl Henry as the main protector, he is a dedicated, combative midfielder but I think he lacks the required mobility and technique to be thoroughly effective in the Premier League.
In respect to future value bets involving either team, Wigan host Blackburn when the Premier League fixtures return and Both Teams to Score is currently best price 7/10 so no real value there yet. The over/under is at 10/11 both sides. I would have the over priced up as the favourite, so I will keep an eye on this market.
Wolves visit Goodison Park and I think they will struggle. Everton have put in two strong performances against Manchester United and then Newcastle away. My initial thought at this early stage is that Everton could win to nil. Both Teams to Score - No, is best price 6/7.
We have the Euro 2012 Play offs and International Friendlies this weekend. The dynamic of the two legged play off can throw up some interesting opportunities and possily some good value bets. I will hope to post about this later in the week.
