Preston vs Wigan prediction and top betting tips

Both of these teams have been in simply horrid form of late but, that being said, both sides will also think they can break that run here as they face another out of sorts side. Who will come out on top? Find out with our Preston vs Wigan match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.

Preston vs Wigan Prediction 1: Draw

We kick off our predictions for this game by backing a draw. As we've touched on already, neither of these teams are in very good form and, quite frankly, we just can't see either finding a way to win. Preston have not won in five games having lost three and drawn two, with the two draws coming in each of their last two games. Wigan meanwhile have only won one of their last 10 matches but have drawn five in that spell including, like their hosts, each of their last two matches. The head to head record supports a draw prediction as well. Of the last five meetings, both sides boast two wins apiece with the latest meeting ending in a draw.

Preston vs Wigan Prediction 2: Both teams will not score

The next prediction we bring you for this game backs at least one team to fail to score. Preston have seen three of their last five games end with at least on side fluffing their lines in front of goal; they've notably failed to score in each of those three games whilst keeping one clean sheet. Wigan meanwhile have a very similar profile in that regards; four of their last five games have ended with at least one side blanking. Wigan have kept three clean sheets in that period but goals aren't exactly flowing for them either; they've also failed to score in three of their last five. Again, the head to head record is another strong reference for this bet; three of the last five meetings have ended with someone failing to score whilst the last clash finished goalless.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the Preston vs Wigan odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game? Let's find out.

Preston odds: 9/7 (2.29) – 44%

Draw odds: 11/5 (3.20) – 31%

Wigan odds: 9/4 (3.25) – 31%

Preston might arrive in this game as the bookies favourites but they're not odds on, which shows that the bookmakers are far from convinced about their capability of getting the job done with their recent form being shoddy at best. The total goals market is somewhat of a different case though; the bookies have this game heavily odds on for an under 2.5 goals bet.

Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Preston vs Wigan

Preston

Preston aren't blessed with a huge squad and therefore making mass changes to their lineup isn't likely. That said, with goals somewhat lacking lately, they could make a switch up top with Troy Parrott the best placed to step into the XI. As for availability, Ched Evans is suspended whilst Andrew Hughes and Emil Riis are both out injured.

Predicted lineup – Woodman, Hughes, Cunningham, Storey, Fernandez, Potts, Ledson, Woodburn, Browne, Delap, Parrott

Wigan

Wigan have been getting close with no cigar in recent weeks in terms of results and, like for Preston, getting goals has been the major problem. For this game though, keeping them out could be problematic too with Jack Whatmough out injured; he's been a key player for the Latics this season. Steven Caulker will come in for him whilst decisions are needed up top too.

Predicted lineup – Amos, Hughes, Caulker, Nyambe, Darikwa, Power, Tiehi, McClean, Lang, Keane, Wyke

*Starting lineups are usually announced one hour prior to kick off.

Player to watch

Goals will be few and far between in this match and, as such, our player to watch has to be a striker but who? We're opting for Will Keane. The Wigan man has been in a dry spell but boasts 10 goals to his name so far this season. His goalscoring touch could return at any point and, even if it doesn't, he's a clever forward with great linkup play. He could still have a big say on this game.
