Reading vs Wigan Predictions

Reading can keep home run going

Reading should be backed to beat Wigan at home in League One on Saturday. The visitors have been poor on the road this season, winning just twice away from home.

Eighth-placed Reading are 11 places above Wigan in the table, but they have played one more game. Reading have won 15 of their 39 matches this season, while Wigan have 11 wins.

The home side have been scoring goals for fun lately. Reading have found the net at least twice in four of their last six League One games.

The hosts are in form at home, with Reading unbeaten in their last nine League One games at home.

Wigan have won three of their 23 games as an underdog this season, and backing them in those matches would have resulted in a 14.40-unit loss.

Wigan have been struggling for results lately, failing to win nine of their last ten League One away games. They have not tasted victory in any of their last seven on the road.

The visitors have been leaky at the back recently, with Wigan failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven League One away games. They have conceded 36 goals from 19 matches on the road this season – an average of 1.89 goals against per game.

Reading may be able to edge out Wigan in a closely-fought game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both teams to score has been a winning bet in nine of Reading’s last 11 League One games and they have beaten Wigan 2-1 in their last two meetings.
