Wigan to Win

A haul of seven points from their last three Championship assignments wasn’t enough to save Wigan’s skin in the second tier and the Latics will play League One football next term following their relegation. Their late spike in form could set them up for one last hurrah in front of their own supporters on Monday when Rotherham come to town, however. The Millers haven’t won an away game since November, and with their motivation to perform virtually non-existent, our first Wigan vs Rotherham prediction opposes them in the match result market.

Under 2.5 Goals

Wigan are the lowest-scoring outfit in the Championship this season while Rotherham have notched just three times in their last seven away matches in the division combined, so bettors shouldn’t expect fireworks in the final third in Monday’s dead rubber. Under 2.5 goals landed when the teams last met back in October (Rotherham 0-2 Wigan), and a similar outcome could be in the works when they clash again one last time at the DW Stadium on the campaign’s final day.

Let's take a closer look at the latest markets, Wigan – Rotherham odds and probability figures ahead of Monday’s clash below.

Wigan odds: 11/10 (2.10) – 47.6%

Draw odds: 9/4 (3.25) – 30.8%

Rotherham odds: 9/4 (3.25) – 30.8%

Wigan have been named as the bookmakers’ expected winners this week despite their status as the league’s bottom club, with The Latics’ implied probability of success currently at 47.6%. Elsewhere, Athletic’s Will Keane is priced at 6/4 (2.50) in the anytime goalscorer markets after his last flurry in the final third. A 1-0 Wigan mean meanwhile, carries one of the slenderest prices in the correct score domain at 13/2 (7.50). That outcome has an implied probability of 13.3%.

Wigan vs Rotherham Team News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates, Wigan vs Rotherham lineups and team news for Monday’s Championship clash below.

Wigan

Long-term absentees Martin Kelly and Jason Kerr are joined on the sidelines by keeper Ben Amos this week. Wigan will also be without forwards Ashley Fletcher and Josh Magennis for their final fixture of the season before their complete their exit from the division.

Predicted Lineup for Wigan: Jones – Rekik, Whatmough, Nyambe – Darikwa, Power, Tiehi, McClean – Lang, Keane, Sinani

Rotherham

Rotherham will be without Grant Hall, Sean Morrison, Tyler Blackett, Conor Coventry, Chiedozie Ogbenie and Bailey Wright this week. The Millers secured safety for the season with a 1-0 win over playoff contenders Middlesbrough last Monday.

Predicted Lineup for Rotherham: Johansson – Harding, Humphreys, Wood, Bramall – Odoffin, Lindsay, Fosu, Rathbone, Ferguson – Hugill

Player to Watch – James McClean

Wigan stalwart James McClean nabbed his eighth assist of the campaign when he set up a goal against Reading last time out and the 34-year-old veteran seems certain to stick with his beloved Latics despite their impeding relegation. McClean should be full of running again on Monday.
