Betting on Blackpool
Blackpool, one of the potential candidates for relegation to League One, heads into this game on the back of a tough run of four consecutive losses. Their latest defeat was a 3-1 loss away to Luton Town last Monday.
This string of losses has left Mick McCarthy’s men in second-to-last place in the Championship table, stuck on 35 points that they have yet to increase. Playing on home turf, Blackpool will be desperate for a result that can turn their extremely complicated situation around.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Chris Maxwell; Andy Lyons, Curtis Nelson, Jordan Thorniley, James Husband; Lewis Fiorini, Sonny Carey, Keshi Anderson; Josh Bowler, CJ Hamilton, Morgan Rogers.
Betting on Wigan Athletic F.C.
On the other hand, Wigan Athletic is also going through its own nightmare. We are talking about the club that is currently in last place in the Championship table with 34 points.
In their last match, Shaun Maloney’s team suffered their second consecutive defeat, which took place last Monday by a score of 2-0 at home against Swansea, a result that not only put the Tree’s supporters under extreme stress because of the fight to avoid relegation to League One, but also because they returned to a series of setbacks, after having won a match not long ago.
Possible lineup (5-3-2): Ben Amos; Tendayi Darikwa, Charlie Hughes, Jack Whatmough, Ryan Nyambe, James McClean; Tom Naylor, Christ Tiéhi, Max Power; Callum Lang, Ashley Fletcher.
JefeBet Prediction
When it comes to matches between the leader and the runner-up, or between two teams battling against relegation, it’s hard to pick a clear favorite.
However, if we look at the numbers, Blackpool actually has the better stats. The home team for this Saturday’s game has a goal difference of -24, while Wigan’s is -28.
Prediction: Blackpool Moneyline (BLA 1-0 WIG).
