Blackburn vs Wigan Betting Tips and Predictions: Wigan

Where to start with Wigan? They look doomed. Their form is awful of late, not a single win in any of their 10 most recent Championship matches. From a possible 30 points in those matches, they’ve only chalked up four. The only silver lining though is that they scored at least one goal in 9/10 of those matches.

Over the course of this season Wigan are averaging 0.82 goals scored per match on their travels and 1.91 goals conceded. So far this Championship season they’ve won none of their away matches, they’ve drawn three on the road and lost eight.

Goalkeeper David Marshall is injured so Jamie Jones will again be in goal. Midfielder Joseph William is struggling with an injury but could be back in time.
