Blackburn hosts Wigan in round 23 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Monday, December 23rd at Ewood Park (Blackburn)
The recent results were very successful for Blackburn Rovers, and a streak of seven unbeaten matches cannot but rejoice. Such an impulse helps players to feel confident in their abilities and gain points even in matches where they especially did not deserve it. It is very difficult to stop the boozy team. In anticipation of the northwest derby, this will play a key role. Another positive point is the convincing game of the Rovers at Ewood Park - a streak of four wins in a row, though two of them were gained with a minimum margin of 1-0. But there were games with more closed teams than Wigan.
By the way, Wigan Athletic is in the opposite situation, unlike Rovers. An alarming trend is developing. Last week, Wigan failed to win again. It won with a 1-0 score, but the game ended in a 1-1 draw. The thing is that this is the sixth similar game for Wigan when they led but could not finish the job. Besides, the away streak is also disappointing (0-3-8). At the same time, they have conceded at least twice in the last four away matches.
Returning to the home stadium should be a huge advantage for Blackburn because it has a winning streak there. Blackburn mostly plays in the open style in the home arena, creating many attempts and converting them into goals. Given Wigan’s unstable defense (35 goals conceded), Rovers has excellent chances to score in both halves. However, instead of the obvious victory of the hosts, I choose over 2.0 goals scored because Wigan has nothing to lose and thinks less about defense in the away games. The match may end with a 2-2 score. I chose modest bet “Over 2.0 goals scored” for real money, and I advise everyone to watch this match. I’m waiting for a fascinating derby.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
