Prediction: 2-1
Wigan
After eliminating Birmingham City in the FA Cup last 32, Blackburn Rovers will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Wigan Athletic in the Championship round 30. The Riversiders are eager to book their place in the playoffs, and it has to be noted that the club chiefs managed to keep hold of key players in the January transfer window.
As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Ben Brereton Diaz, while Daniel Ayala is back from suspension. The Latics, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table, and given their poor form in January, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Monday’s encounter. Both Jason Kerr and Tom Pearce are sidelined with injuries, while January signing Miguel Azeez should make his Wigan debut against Blackburn.
Highlighted Player (Bradley Dack):
Born in Greenwich, England on December 31, 1993, Bradley Dack is a midfielder who plays for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. Bradley Dack began his youth career at Charlton Athletic back in 2005 and five years later he moved to Corinthian. However, the English footballer started his senior career at Gillingham, making his league debut against Bradford City on August 18, 2012. 20 days later he scored his first senior goal as he found the net in Football League trophy clash against Crawley Town.
Before joining Blackburn Rovers on June 27, 2017 Bradley Dack played four games on loan for Braintree Town, scoring one goal in those league games. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he is used as both right and left midfielder as well. Dack once described himself as “free role behind two strikers”.
The Blackburn Rovers midfielder often finds the net and it has to be noted that he scored 16 goals in 36 appearances for the Riversiders in the 2017/2018 League One campaign.
Highlighted Team (Wigan):
Wigan Athletic are one of the winners of the English FA Cup. The Latics won the prestigious trophy in 2013, with the team upsetting Manchester City in the title game. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but it has to be noted that Wigan played in the UEFA Europa League in the 2013/2014 season.
Wigan have been playing their home games at the DW Stadium since 1999 and they had played at Springfield Park in the past. Chorley are considered Wigan’s fierce rivals, but the two teams last met in 1971, when they competed in the Northern Premier League. The likes of Preston North End, Bury, Oldham Athletic, Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are regarded as Wigan Athletic’s rivals as well.
The club was founded in 1932 and they competed in the English Premier League from 2005 to 2013. The colour of Wigan’s home kit is blue and white (stripes).
