Blackburn take on the visitors Wigan in the round 30 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Monday, February 6th at Ewood Park (Blackburn).
Tramps already out of the playoff zone. Until recently, Blackburn were considered a real contender for promotion, and now the team has even dropped out of the top 6, rolling back to eighth place. The gap from the playoff zone is only one point, while there is a game in hand. In the last round, the "tramps" recorded a draw in away match against Bristol City – 1-1, it is noteworthy that this was the first draw in the championship for the club, which happened only in the 28th round. The team has just one victory in recent five meetings, but they are still able to finish in the desired six. Four players will miss this meeting due to injuries. For a club that battles for the sixth position, it is even strange to have a negative goal difference. Rovers have too few clean sheets this season.

Wigan are in danger of being relegated from the Championship. Wigan's positions don't look optimistic as the club are bottom of the league and are in danger of being relegated from the division. The gap from the passing 21st place is 4 points, it is quite possible to win back. In the last round, the team lost at home to Luton with a score of 0:2, continuing their meeting without a win to seven meetings, during this period they managed to collect only two points. Three players will miss this match, they have injuries. At the same time, only once in eight rounds the team failed to score. Interestingly, playing defensively on the road, the Latics collect points regularly and score more goals per round.
In the reverse fixture, Wigan won a 1-0 home win, Blackburn played extremely poorly, with only 3 attempts and none of them on target. The match appears to be eventful with chances for both team. Blackburn played during the week, which gives an additional advantage to Wigan. The bookmaker line completely underestimates the visitors who really need points in the fight for survival. The hosts also need them, but with each round they get worse and worse. And if Rotherham could crush the Rovers by scoring four goals, can't the Latics be able to do it at least once. Alas, the young home team plays great, but not quite stable. Blackburn are no longer the best club in the Championship in terms of the number of points taken at home. The visitors will score and perhaps more than once.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
