Wigan Double Chance
Back-to-back victories over Stoke and Millwall have sparked new survival hopes for bottom club Wigan and the Latics can strengthen their push for safety with a positive result at fellow relegation zone dwellers Reading on Saturday. Still without a new permanent manager, The Royals have gone 11 games in the Championship without winning and with confidence in their camp low, we recommend backing the visitors in the double chance market against them for our opening Reading vs Wigan prediction.
Both Teams to Score
Reading and Wigan rank in the bottom four this season for goals conceded in the Championship and with their defences equally brittle, we’re tipping both teams to concede on Saturday. BTTS has landed in eight of Reading’s last 11 Championship home fixtures, while Wigan have kept only two clean sheets in their last 17 games on the road. No team has collected fewer shutouts than Reading overall however, so back both sides to ship goals again in this one.
