Wigan Athletic
LDDDWW 🌤
Wigan will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 1-0 League One success versus Rotherham United.
The only scorer from Wigan Athletic was James Carragher (36').
Fewer than three goals per match were recorded in 6 of the past 6 meetings where Wigan Athletic have taken part. Breaking down the goal split from this period, their opponents scored an aggregate of 2 while Wigan Athletic totted up 3. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, though.
Their prior results show that Wigan Athletic:
- haven't been beaten in the league by Blackpool in their last 2 games.
- haven't been defeated in their previous 2 home league matches.
Blackpool
WWWLWL
After being beaten in their last game against Wrexham in League One action, Blackpool and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In their previous 6 clashes, Blackpool have amassed a total of 12 goals. Blackpool have also managed to score on each one of those occasions. During that period, their defenders have seen 6 goals scored by their opponents.
Coming into this fixture, Blackpool have not registered a win against Wigan Athletic in away games against them for the last 2 league games.

📋 Team News: Wigan
Luke Chambers (Back injury) and Joe Adams (Cruciate ligament injury) are unavailable for Wigan manager Ryan Lowe.
📰 Team News: Blackpool
Thanks to a mainly available group of players, there is only a single fitness issue for the Blackpool gaffer Steve Bruce to contend with. Andy Lyons (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be playing here.
🔮 Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Blackpool and Wigan Athletic may both struggle to make a breakthrough here.
It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We’re therefore tipping a very even match with a 0-0 score at the end of this one.
