Bristol Rovers vs Wigan Prediction & Betting Tips - League One
by Ian John in Football Predictions
Bristol Rovers will host Wigan Athletic on Saturday in an intriguing League One matchup. The Pirates occupy the ninth spot in the table after five games and have a 100% home record. Their opponents, The Latics, lie 20th in the table but have played one game fewer. Will our prediction back The Gas to extend their fine home record, or can the Tics win the match?
Matt Taylor’s Rovers have enjoyed a positive start to their League One campaign, especially at home, where they have secured both wins this season without conceding a goal. Six of their seven goals scored this season have come at home.
They did score their first away goal last weekend in a 2-1 defeat away to Barnsley.
Wigan manager Shaun Maloney will not be pleased with his team’s start to the season. They have managed just one win this campaign, a 1-0 home win over Crawley Town, and have lost both away league games (2-0 at Reading and, most recently, 2-1 to Birmingham).
Their most recent fixture was a Football League Trophy defeat to Morecambe, where Wigan lost 2-1 at home to the League Two Shrimps.
On a positive note, they have lost just once to Bristol Rovers in the past eleven games, stretching back to March 1999. However, that defeat came last season in a 4-1 thrashing at the Memorial Stadium.
