Wigan to Win

Reason for tip

Wigan look the best bet away at Port Vale. They have momentum, winning four of their last six and losing only one of their last eight, while Port Vale are poor at home and struggle badly for goals. Wigan are scoring freely, hitting two or more in each of their last three, and they have a strong record in this matchup, keeping clean sheets in three of the last four meetings. With Port Vale blanking more than any other side, Wigan should have the edge.

Wigan 1-0

Reason for tip

Wigan 1-0 is the correct-score pick. Port Vale games are usually tight, with nine of their last 11 finishing under 2.5, and they often fail to score at all, blanking in 21 matches this season. Wigan have kept Port Vale quiet before and were 1-0 winners in the reverse fixture. Even though Wigan are scoring well, this could still be a cagey away win where one goal is enough, especially against a side that struggles to create chances at home.

Both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season, with Wigan having won 14 and lost 16 of their 43 games, while Port Vale have won eight and lost 21. Wigan are ten places above Port Vale in the table, but both sides have losing records.

Wigan have scored an average of 1.80 goals a game in their five League One away games against teams in the bottom six this season, while Port Vale have conceded an average of 1.30 goals a game in their ten home games against other bottom-half teams.

Wigan have momentum on their side, having been winners in four of their last six League One games. They have only lost one of their last eight matches in the division.

Wigan have been in attacking form, scoring at least twice in four of their last six League One games. They have netted at least twice in each of the last three.

Wigan to get a 1-0 away win looks a decent correct-score bet. Nine of Port Vale’s last 11 League One games have ended with under 2.5 goals and Wigan were 1-0 winners against Port Vale last time they met in the league.
