Game Analysis

  • There is barely a price between the sides. Wigan is the shortest price on a book of 2.25 / 3.50 / 2.63 (1 / X / 2), an implied 40.0%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 40.0% / 25.7% / 34.2% on an overround of 11.0%.

  • In the league table Wigan sit 1st on 3 points (1W 0D 0L) with Blackpool 3rd.

  • Wigan read L-D-L-W-L-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (1W 1D 4L) — poor.

  • Blackpool read L-D-L-L-W-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (2W 1D 3L) — more bad than good.

  • Head to head the record reads 0-5-1 — Wigan wins, draws, then Blackpool wins. Their last meeting finished Blackpool - Wigan: 1-1.

  • Our last-six model flags 2 qualifying strikes here. Reading Wigan first, then Blackpool, out of their last six: HT DRAW 4 and 3, U 1.50 4 and 2.

  • Blackpool lean hardest on Dion Charles (9.5), Jerry Yates (9.5), Bailey Peacock-Farrell (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • The read: With barely anything between them on price, this is one to leave alone in the 1X2 market and attack in the goals or handicap markets instead.
