Bristol City vs Wigan Predictions

• Seven of Wigan’s last nine Championship away games have seen both teams score.
• Bristol City have recorded two straight Championship wins by a single-goal margin.
• Wigan are winless in ten of their last 11 competitive matches.

Buoyant Bristol can make it ten unbeaten

After a tough start to the season, Bristol City have since come roaring back to form with a nine-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. That run has both helped them climb the Championship table and continue to fight in the FA Cup ahead of this home encounter with relegation-threatened Wigan.

The Robins are also unbeaten in six of the last seven H2H encounters against Wigan and coming into this on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over one of the pre-season promotion favourites Norwich, Nigel Pearson’s men will be right up for this.

On the other hand, Wigan finally ended an eight-game winless run of league games with a 1-0 win over managerless Huddersfield last time out, but they’ll be playing against a stronger outfit in this encounter and that could play against the struggling Latics.

Back the Robins to inflict more misery upon Wigan

We’re backing Bristol City to win this game with confidence. Any price close to evens represents significant value for one of the form sides in the division against a bottom-three side that have just eked out a victory at long last against a similarly desperate side.

However, we believe Wigan can give the Robins something to think about after finding the net in four of their last five away games, so we’re going for a smaller stakes play on a 2-1 correct score.
