Blackburn vs Wigan Prediction & Betting tips
In the English championship, after 22 of 46 match days, there are some indications that West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United are two direct promoters to the Premier League. The lead of the two currently best teams from the lower house over the third place has increased in the last few weeks to twelve or ten points.
In the fight for the playoffs, on the other hand, a dozen clubs are preparing to rank between three and six in the table after regular season. There are currently only seven points between the third and the 13th
Right in the middle are the Blackburn Rovers, which are currently in excellent shape. For this reason, before the game on Monday evening between Blackburn and Wigan, such low odds for a home win are offered. The Rovers have taken 16 out of a possible 18 points from their last six games and definitely want to continue this impressive series.
There is a very good chance that the forecast or the bet on the hosts will pay off between Blackburn and Wigan, especially since the guests have slipped to last place in the classification since Saturday. The last victory of the “Latics” in the championship dates from October, which is why the favorite role is clearly moving to the north-west of England on Monday evening. Anything less than a threesome by Lewis Holtby’s team would be a big surprise.
Blackburn:
Lewis Holtby once completed three caps for the German senior team. During his time in the Bundesliga, the blond boy was one of the most promising talents at FSV Mainz 05 and Schalke 04, which eventually led to a move to Tottenham.
After the following five less successful years at Hamburger SV, the half-Briton has now returned to the island. The 29-year-old signed a contract with the second division club in Blackburn until 2021. However, the midfielder has hardly been able to convince in terms of football with his new club.
Holtby only has twelve missions. Overall, the creative player, who was trained in Gladbach and Aachen, was only able to demonstrate his skills in 500 minutes. A goal, two assists and just five matches from the start underline the fact that coach Tony Mowbray has hardly any use for the deeply fallen former international.
The success currently proves the Englishman who has been in office since 2017 right. In the second-rate championship, the Rovers are something of the team of the hour. The long-time first division club got 16 points from the past six league games, so that you could work your way up the table.
The blue-whites are currently in tenth place, but the gap to the playoffs has shrunk to a meager three points in recent weeks. Already on Monday, the kickers from Ewood Park have the opportunity to make up ground with a win and continue the great run of success in the last game before Christmas Eve.
If we believe the odds of bookmakers before the Blackburn vs Wigan game, then the sixth three out of the recent seven matches is considered quite likely. No wonder, because the Mowbray team presented themselves extremely well recently, especially at home. Four home wins in a row and six unbeaten encounters in front of their own fans in succession are a strong result.
Although the Rovers won 2-0 at Bristol City fourth last weekend, it can be assumed that coach Tony Mowbray will rotate back. Among other things, the former Liverpool professional Stewart Downing should slip into the team, as well as the recently suspended top scorer Bradley Dack, who clearly leads the internal scorer list with nine goals.
Wigan:
2013 has been probably the most exciting year for Wigan Athletic in professional English football. Although the “Latics” descended from the Premier League to the Championship more than six years ago, the team of the then coach Roberto Martinez, who is currently training the Belgian national team, sensationally chose the FA Cup winner.
Even though the footballers from Greater Manchester County in 2013/2014 were allowed to take part in the European Cup for the first and only time, the development curve continued to point downwards. The sad low point was the relegation to League One only two years later (2016), which was at least corrected with the immediate reappearance.
In the current season, the blue-whites have to try again not to be passed through to the third class. Wigan is currently in last place. At least hope is the fact that the gap to the saving bank is only two points and the “Latics” could theoretically climb to a non-relegation zone with a threesome on Monday.
However, belief in one’s own strength is currently lacking. This is primarily due to the fact that the team of coach Paul Cook has been waiting for ten games to win in the second-highest division in the country for ten games. The last success dates from October 20 this year. This was followed by six defeats and four draws. The most recent two matches also ended in a draw.
Another argument that favors a home win prediction between Blackburn and Wigan is the weakness of the rear at home. In fact, last year’s 18th In eleven guest appearances in the current season, not a single win (three draws, eight bankruptcies). The worst away team in the championship also scored the fewest hits of all 24 clubs in the league comparison.
Confidence has been completely lost. Instead, the uncertainty has gained the upper hand. In the current state, we’d be surprised if the Cook elf kidnapped something countable from Ewood Park. In terms of personnel, the coach also has to do without Mulgrew, Fox and possibly Marshall.
