Maribor never won on English turf in 6 attempts. Oh.
On a more brighter note Maribor played Spurs last season in Europa League and only lost 3-1 at White Hart Lane (Wigan are no Spurs) and drew with them 1-1 in Slovenia.
Maribor also have a brand new coach in charge. His first game tonight so hopefully the players have something to prove to him.
Wigan currently 15th in the Championship.
Maribor currently 1st in top Slovenian League.
Surely there is a bit of value to be had here. Not saying they will win but as a value bet i'll be chucking something at it. GL

The missing key players for us mentioned on BBC site have been out most of the season anyway.

Judging by Maribor's performance last night I would compare their league to the Conference.
Apart from 10 mins late in the game they were truly shocking.
Still a European win is a win and we will take them all. Powell could have easily had a double hat-trick last night.

really 32 teams is far too many for the CL and as a consequence the europa league group stages are full of utter dross. there's just no demand for 80 teams having 6 games each guaranteed before xmas. empty grounds and minimal tv interest
