Both teams in all competitions have drawn three of the six games, would may light up William Hills offering of 5/2. With a new gaffer at Southampton, it is still too early to assume anything in his style, but has not got off to a bad start in theory. Looking at the Opta facts, it is actually the first time that Wigan have entertained Southampton at home in any competition. Wigan have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 Premier League home games and won none of the last five there (D1 L4). More interestingly Southampton have thrown away 22 points from leading positions this season, more than any other side. Southampton are nailed on at 11/8 to score first with Ladbrokes and is a game you feel both teams will score, but at 4/6 doesn’t appeal, so will risk 4/5 with Bet365 on there being over 2.5 goals.
