They don’t lose often but they have dropped here against both Oldham and Northampton. Wigan are tough to beat. They’ve conceded just 18 goals this season and are being touted as the “Juventus of League One” thanks to their no-nonsense back-line. Neither side will want to surrender any ground and a point each looks a realistic outcome. It ended 0-0 when these sides met at the DW earlier in the season. The first of our Blackburn vs Wigan betting tips is Draw which is priced at 9/4 with Paddy Power.

Backing a player in form is always advisable and Bradley Dack certainly meets that criteria.

Bradley Dack in the anytime goalscorer market is priced at 21/10 with Betfair and is the last of our Blackburn vs Wigan betting predictions.
