Cardiff vs Wigan Odds

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

The bookies have Cardiff City as -137 favourites for this League One clash, with the Full-Time Result betting odds implying that they are 58% likely to win. If you’re looking for an alternative angle, Wigan Athletic are trading at +350.

Backing Cardiff -0.75 at -112 on the Asian Handicap line means they need to win by two goals or more against Wigan for a full payout. A one-goal success would see you get paid out on the -0.5 part and money back on the -1.0 part.

Under 2.5 Goals is a short-priced option for those expecting two goals or less. For the Both Teams to Score betting option, it’s up in the air odds-wise as to whether Yes or No will be the end result.
