Blackburn Rovers - Wigan Athletic betting tips and odds

By pricing a home win at around 2.00, the bookies made it clear that Blackburn Rovers are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The odds are stacked heavily against Wigan Athletic here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Blackburn are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.20.

It’s fair to say The Rovers demonstrated their character in the last Championship clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (Bristol City).

Wigan Athletic are coming on the back of a : draw, with a tie score at halftime. All of that sounds quite unassuming, but it’s worth noting that Wigan Athletic are the moral victors in that clash. After all, they were seen as the clear underdogs in that matchup against West Bromwich Albion.

After recording more than 5 concessions in the previous 3 home games alone, confidence in Blackburn Rovers and their ability to bank on home-field advantage is shaky.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Wigan Athletic have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Championship. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Championship season. Wigan Athletic won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.10 if you use the bet365 sportsbook.
