Wigan vs Reading: Top free betting tips
Which of these struggling fallen giants will record a needed win? Our Wigan vs Reading prediction is for a tight match with not many goals.
Wigan remain only just above the relegation zone after only able to record back-to-back 1-1 league draws. The Latics are decent at home though. They lost only 1 of their last 5 home league games (W3 D1). Reading’s off-the-field turmoil continues and right now saving the club’s existence is the primary goal, not so much the results on the pitch.
Correct outcome prediction: Draw
With our first Wigan vs Reading prediction, we try to forecast the outcome and we think there is a very good chance for the spoils to be shared. Wigan recorded 5 draws in the last 10 rounds (W2 L3). Now they are up against a Reading team that recorded 4 consecutive away draws in recent weeks.
Total corners prediction: Over 8.5 corners
Our next Wigan vs Reading prediction looks at the Corners Market. We think this game will have at least 9 total corners. This was the case in 4 of the last 6 H2Hs. Also, 3 of Wigan’s last 4 home games had 9 or more corners in them.
Correct score prediction: 1-1 draw
As usual, our final Wigan vs Reading prediction tries to foresee the correct score and we pick 1-1 as our most likely choice for this match. Wigan recorded 5 draws in the last 10 rounds and 4 of those had been 1-1 results.
Reading also seems to like this outcome as 4 of Reading’s last 6 draws in all competitions had been 1-1 scorelines.

How far will Reading’s fans travel to Wigan?
The driving distance between Reading and Wigan is 189 miles (305km). The long journey up north from Berkshire is also across some smaller roads and even in good conditions, it should take close to 4 hours to cover the distance. Considering the winter wonderland predicted for Saturday the trip should take longer.
Just a quick reminder to all Reading fans. Please, don’t forget to bring your tennis balls, the game won’t be the same without them.
