Wigan vs Burnley Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 27th August 2022
Burnley are the favourites by a long shot on Sunday for a Championship round 6 match against Wigan at DW Stadium this coming Saturday. The last time the pair played each other, The Clarets came out the other side as 2-0 winners and surely won't mind a repeat of that result.
Wigan are placed 15 with six points after four matches. Burnley occupy a position as 16 in the league on six points.
It has been a few rounds since Burnley last tasted of success in the Championship games and they should expect no presents from their upcoming opponents Wigan.
Wigan go into their next Championship match, averaging a humble 1.5 goals per game in their last ten matches, in which they scored a mundane 15 times, while conceding eight goals. That amounts to an average of 0.8 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring five times.
Burnley hit the target 14 times in the last ten outings, which creates an average of 1.4 goals a game. They conceded 0.8 goals per match for a total of eight goals, while claiming four clean sheets as well.
Wigan vs Burnley Prediction
Wigan have four points to show from their last three matches, as they lost 1-0 against Fleetwood, before drawing 1-1 with Bristol City. They won their most recent game 0-1 against Birmingham. Wigan claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Championship. They also drew three but remained undefeated, as they scored 14 and conceded two goals.
As they hover around the relegation-places Wigan seem on par with expectations of a tough season.
Burnley look solid currently after going three matches unbeaten, which started by drawing 1-1 against Hull. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Blackpool in a 3-3 draw, before taking out Shrewsbury in a 0-1 win. In their last six Championship away matches, Burnley won four, as they've also drawn and lost once, scoring nine while also conceding four times.
Burnley entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.
Wigan and Burnley are mostly leaning towards matches shy on goals, as it seems that not conceding is more important than attempting to score. This indicates a close encounter is on the menu on Saturday.
