S.P.Read Esq: Wigan Athletic v Gillingham

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the League One game on Thursday between WIGAN ATHLETIC v GILLINGHAM and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

League One action tonight with the SKY cameras at Wigan for the visit of Gillingham.

It’s very much a top of the table battle. Gillingham (2nd) have the chance to go top (even with a draw) over current leaders Burton and Wigan (5th) can consolidate their play-off/promotion hopes in their first attempt to get back into the Championship after last season’s relegation.

Both teams arrive in good form, particularly Gillingham who are on a winning run of four, including their last two away games.

Wigan have not exactly been scoring goals for fun at the DW Stadium but may just have the edge with home advantage to win this one.

The reverse fixture finished 2-0 to the Gills in August.

Got three goals at Goodison last night but they came late and it was a small loss – but looking worse for a long time during the game.

I’m going to buy bookings tonight at 38 with plenty at stake. There were three yellows in the reverse fixture so I’m only looking for one more tonight to get into the profit zone on the Star Spreads trade.
