Hull vs Wigan
Should be an interesting game. Hull has started the season with 4pts from 6 against a Wigan team yet to pick up anything.
It’s been a positive start for hull but I don’t expect it to last. In my opinion they were very lucky in both of their games to come away with anything. In the first game against Fulham, they produced a spirited come back having been dominated and the game should have been dead and buried before half time. But they rode their luck and with the home crowd cheering them on, managed to sneak the game.
At Blackburn again they was lucky, Blackburn had so many chances and if the home side had been more solid at the back and a little bit more luck in front of goal then I am sure it would have been very different.
Hulls defence at times look like Sunday league pub team standard. The ease at which they were carved open should be a very worrying sign for their fans. You also have to take into account both teams they played are very mediocre and not the strongest at the back. One team only managed 2 away win all of last season and the other is on a transition period under new boss.
Wigan on the other hand on the back of two undeserved defeat against two very good sides, is a very good and organised team.
They will be a very tough team to beat at the JJB this season, they are physical and hard working. The back four is well protected and in the opening two games they showed they could play very good football and match the best in Chelsea.
The only thing that does concern me with Wigan is the lack of goals. The term not very prolific for the midfield quartet plus Heskey is an understatement. Wigan relies a lot on set pieces and bundles as oppose to the prefect goal. So with the misfiring front line a lot will depend on their new signing Zaki. So far he has impressed me. Very hard working and has great technical ability. He and Kapo are the biggest goal threat for Wigan.
Hull has been lucky and I don’t rate them any better then derby of last yr. Wigan can win this game if they can score the goals. I am going into this with a slightly lower stake because Hull seems to be finding the net somehow at the moment. And wigan’s defence is not as solid as it is at home. But I still think the away team will have too much class for a championship team.
Unit 6 away 0.0 handicap. @1.95
WIN. final score 0-5. was spot on with y prediction. Hull will struggle this season.
