Oppose a High-Scoring Game

Wigan and Blackpool could be set for a low-scoring encounter. We will therefore head to the Total Goals market where Under 2.5 can be backed at an eye-catching price of 1.75.

2-2 Draw in Last H2H Battle

Wigan Athletic were winners last time out. Landing a 1-0 home triumph against Rotherham United at The Brick Community Stadium.

Blackpool lost their previous game, being beaten at home to Wrexham by a 2-1 scoreline at Bloomfield Road.

We saw Blackpool draw 2-2 at home to Wigan at Bloomfield Road when the teams last went head-to-head. In the previous 7 H2H matches, we have seen four Blackpool victories, two Wigan wins and one draw.
