Wigan vs Maribor betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Wigan will play their second European match in the history of the club, first one at home, welcoming Slovenian side Maribor in the second round of the fourth group of Europa League. They got a goalless draw in the first round, playing away to Zulte Waregem in Belgium two weeks ago."

Last Saturday, Wigan lost away from home against Watford, with a goal eight minutes before the full time whistle. They have actually played well, having some chances to score, especially in the second half, while they had no much time to react once they have conceded a goal. With this defeat, they completed a run of five consecutive away matches without a victory, but what’s worse is that the run is also without a goal scored, while they suffered four defeats. However, much better performances are presented at their own ground, while the team still can’t be satisfied with their entrance in the new season, at least when speaking about the Championship.

Hosts continue playing with couple of players out the ones that didn’t play from the beginning of the season, but also without midfielder Maloney (5/3 in Championship) and striker Grant Holt (5/2). Doubtful is left back Crainey (7/0) with a neck problem.

Maribor suffered a heavy home defeat in their Europa League opener as the Russian side Rubin Kazan showed to be way more superior to them earning a 5:2 victory in Slovenia two weeks ago. The difference between two sides was evident as the visitors had the upper hand throughout the whole ninety minutes and got a fair victory.

Since that defeat, Maribor started showing weaknesses in the domestic league too, as they firstly lost to newly promoted Zavrc 1:0, but then only drew at home to Velenje 1:1 and finally, suffered another defeat last weekend going down to Koper 2:1 away from home. Still, the team managed to hold on the first position in the league with a 7-2-2 record, being tied with already mentioned Zavrc. The team isn’t playing the same football they did at the start of the season, as coach Ante Cacic got replaced by Ante Simundza few days ago. Visitors have no fresh injury worries or problems for this trip, as some of their players are back to the team in comparison to the Europa League premiere against Rubin.

Maribor have lost their last four matches in Europa League.
Maribor is nowhere near their old form from Summer and even if they were, it’s hard to see them walking away with something here. Their real quality was seen in a game against Rubin and hardly the new coach will be able to change anything so quickly.

Bet: Wigan -1 Asian handicap
