Wigan Athletic vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction
Why we picked this for Wigan Athletic vs Blackburn Rovers
Under 2.5 goals is our call for Wigan Athletic against Blackburn Rovers (FA Cup), rated at 80% confidence. Matches involving Wigan Athletic produced 3.2 goals per game over their last 5, and 4 of those went over 2.5. For Blackburn Rovers it is 2.0 goals per game, with 2 of 5 over 2.5. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 4 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.
The head-to-head points the other way: only 2 of their last 5 meetings finished under 2.5 goals. Older meetings say less about how these teams play now, so recent form counts for more in our numbers. At 80%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 3-2. The pick lost.
