Blackburn vs Wigan: Top Free Betting Tips

Blackburn Rovers will be keen to extend their winning form when they host the next EFL Championship fixture on Monday, 6 February. The Latics are getting desperate in the league and conceded successive defeats before this game.

Match Result Prediction: Blackburn to Win

Blackburn Rovers have registered a total of three wins, two draws and a defeat in the previous six games in different competitions. The Riversiders have also won three of the last five hosting games in the second division. In opposition, Wigan Athletic are struggling in Championship and lost five of the last six league outings. The Latics won the recent consecutive meetings with Blackburn at home but the Rovers have dominated Wigan at home and won three of the last five hosting meetings, losing none. Hence, Blackburn Rovers will be the favourites to take three points in this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: No

Wigan Athletic dropped their scoring streak in the last game against Luton Town and faced a strong defensive side. Blackburn Rovers kept two clean sheets in the previous four league-hosting games and claimed four clean sheets in the last five H2Hs against Wigan at home. The Rovers have found the target in four of the last five home H2Hs against the Tics and didn’t miss the target in the last ten league duels at home. So we predict only the Rovers to be able to get on the score sheet in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Blackburn

Blackburn Rovers have scored only one goal per game in the last four league games at home. The Rovers have also hit the target only five times in the last five H2Hs against Wigan Athletic. On the other hand, the Latics have also conceded only one goal per game in three of the previous four away attempts. Therefore, we predict a narrow victory of 1-0 for Blackburn Rovers at the end of ninety minutes in this game.
