Burnley to Win and Lead at Half Time
There is little doubt about Burnley earning promotion back to Premier League at this point and even them finishing top seems like a foregone conclusion, but the team is still motivated to prove themselves.
On the other hand, Wigan is at the bottom of the standings in Championship right now, but they still have a chance to stay up. Still, with Burnley hosting this game, we don't see the guests doing well. So, our first Burnley vs Wigan prediction is for Burnley to win the match after leading at half time.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
The second of our football betting tips for this game comes from the fact that we saw at least three goals in the last two duels between these teams and that we saw six goals in their first duel this season.
In addition to this, Burnley averaged 2.74 goals per game in the league this season, while Wigan averaged 2.43 goals per game. So, our second Burnley vs Wigan prediction is for the match to go over 2.5 total goals.

Burnley vs Wigan Preview: Potential Lineups, Team News and Latest Form
If you want to learn more about these two teams ahead of their duel, including possible Burnley vs Wigan lineups, you are in right place:
Burnley
It's been a great season for Burnley as the team is currently at the top of Championship, where they've been for most of the season. Not only that, but they are seventeen points ahead of the third team in the standings with eleven rounds to go, so unless they mess things up spectacularly, we will be seeing Burnley in Premier League again from next season.
Meanwhile, the team is currently without injured Josh Brownhill, Ian Maatsen, Darko Churlinov, Benson Manuel, Jay Rodriguez, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
Burnley Predicted Lineup:
Muric – Roberts, Ekdal, Beyer, Vitinho – Cork, Cullen – Tella, Gudmundsson, Zaroury – Barnes
Wigan
Although they only lost twice in the last six games in the league, Wigan also only has one win in that span, along with three draws. Also, the team is without a win in the last five matches in Championship. Overall, Wigan collected 32 points from 35 games so far, which puts them in the last place and six points behind the first team outside of the relegation zone.
On the bright side, only Martin Kelly and Jason Kerr are on the team's injury list at this time.
Wigan Predicted Lineup:
Amos – Hughes, Rekik, Bennett – Darikwa, Power, Naylor, McClean – Keane, Sinani – Fletcher

Player to Watch: Anass Zaroury
Given that we can see Burnley getting the win in this match, our player to watch is Anass Zaroury, one of the most consistent performers for the team this season, even though a few other players have also impressed so far.
The young Moroccan forward managed to score six goals and notch four assists in twenty five appearances in Championship, so Wigan should be wary of him ahead of their duel.
