Blackpool vs Wigan Predictions

Blackpool go into this match knowing that a defeat, coupled with a positive result for Fleetwood on Monday, could see them relegated. It has been quite a fall from grace from the days when Ian Holloway lead them to the Premier League. A well publicised turbulent season has seen fans clashing with the Oyston family who run the club. That conflict didn’t exactly settle things on the pitch, The Seasiders only took a single point from their first six games. Things have started to look up recently though and Neil McDonald’s men have given themselves a realistic shot at survival.

Wigan meanwhile have had almost the opposite season, they sit at the top of the league and know that a win against their northwest rivals could seal both promotion and the league title. Their success has been highlighted when six of their players featured in the top 15 players in the division according to the Football League. The Latics are back to winning ways after dropping points in their last two games, although the run before that blip was a mammoth 20 game winning streak. William Grigg scored twice in Wigan’s 4-1 victory over Southend last time out and has Nicky Ajose breathing down his neck for the top scorer award.  

This games pits the league’s best attack against its worst and there is plenty riding on it for both sides. Wigan look like they will be too strong and the form of Grigg will be a major factor. Wigan to win and Grigg to score looks to be a strong possibility so with odds of 3/1 with Betfair.
