Wigan and Blackpool meet in what is expected to be a low-scoring League One encounter, with 1-0 our predicted outcome. Wigan head into Saturday's game on the back of a solid 1–1 draw with Huddersfield and have no fresh injury concerns, which should allow Ryan Lowe to keep continuity in his selection. At home, the Latics have been hard to break down, conceding just 0.60 goals per game, and their defensive structure has been the foundation of their recent results. While they do not score heavily, they are usually competitive and disciplined, especially at the DW Stadium.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late with a clear split between home and away performances. Their return of Jordan Brown from suspension is a boost in midfield, adding energy and balance. However, Blackpool have struggled on the road, picking up few wins and conceding regularly. They tend to play more open games, which can work both ways against an organised Wigan side that prefers control over chaos.
As Wigan are more of a team than Blackpool and reliable at home, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, with additional value on Under 3.5 goals (62%) and Wigan to Score First.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 12:30.
