Blackburn Rovers vs Wigan Predictions

• Wigan have won one of their last 17 matches in all competitions (D4, L12)
• Blackburn have the fifth-best home record in the Championship
• Blackburn are unbeaten in their last six home matches against Wigan (W4, D2)

Rovers can revive campaign with much-needed victory

Blackburn’s promotion bid has faltered since the Championship returned after the World Cup. Despite a slump in form, Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side can move up to fifth, with a victory over the division’s bottom side, Wigan. Rovers have the fifth-best home record in the Championship having taken 27 points from 13 home league matches this season. Blackburn have a fine recent record in this fixture, they are unbeaten in the last six H2H matches against Wigan, at Ewood Park, and will surely fancy their chances on Monday.

Maloney needs to have immediate impact at Wigan  

Wigan will be hoping the appointment of former player, Shaun Maloney, will have an immediate impact on a season which has been nothing short of a disaster. Wigan, who are winless in their last nine, have won just one of their last 17 matches in all competitions and currently find themselves rooted to the foot of the Championship table, four points adrift of safety.

A victory for the visitors on Monday looks unlikely but they could muster a consolation goal for their troubles. Wigan have scored in 12 of their last 13 away matches in all competitions, while they have score exactly once in eight of their 13 away league games this season. Despite not struggling in front of goal, The Latics have failed to any of their last nine away matches.

Blackburn to win in the outright market will form the main selection for Monday’s game at Ewood Park, with a 2-1 home victory forming the correct score prediction.
