Wigan vs Blackburn betting tips 6 October 2013 Championship England: "After a first round of Europa League group stage goalless draw against Zulte Waregem in Belgium, English Championship side Wigan continued with good performances defeated Maribor at home 3:1 in the second round of their group stage. With this victory, team is much closer to getting the first two spots as they are already three points above Zulte and are awaiting their returning game at home."
In any way, although their start in the Europa Laegue is almost perfect and surely more positive than expected, everyone in the club can’t be fully satisfied with how the things are going in the domestic league. After eight matches played, team has three victories, two draws and three defeats, being in the bottom part of the table with only eleven points earned. That’s way lower than expected, while play-off positions are already nine points above them – truth to be told, Wigan has played three matches less and there is still a lot of time for improvement. Going into this game, their target will be to win, but also they understand the game comes in a tough time as they are coming from a Europa League played on Thursday night.
Hosts continue performing without forward Holt (4/2) who is already out for weeks, while doubtful are defender Ramis (no participation yet), midfielder Maloney (5/3) and left defender Crainey (4/1).
Blackburn, on the other side, also started the season with much poorer results than they were hoping prior to start. Team is coming from a 1:0 narrow victory at home over Watford 1:0, on Tuesday night. Although visitors had much more of the ball possession, hosts were more concrete and have celebrated the victory with a goal from Rhodes in 65th minute.
It was their second victory in a row, as the team previously won away from home over Bournemouth 3:1 on last weekend. Blackburn is having 4-3-3 record in the new season and are currently placed at ninth position five points below the play-off zone, which should be their realistic target this season. Going into this game, attacking midfielder Rochina (1/0) is set to miss out again, while DJ Campbell is doubtful. Attacking midfielder Dunn (3/1) is questionable for this game, with Marshall taking care of his position.
Wigan have seen over 2.5 goals in six of their last seven home matches against Blackburn.
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Wigan’s last three games in Championship.
Both teams will have to earn more points in near future than they did till now, with the game being very closed this time. Wigan will aim to get the three pointer, but coming from a Europa League game, things won’t be any easy for them, especially when facing Blackburn that seems to be playing better and better in each next game.
Bet: Blackburn +0.5 Asian handicap
