Middlesbrough vs Wigan Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions
After their away loss to league leaders Burnley, Middlesbrough will be back home to take on struggling Wigan Athletic and hoping to bounce back. The two sides have had contrasting runs in the season and this game finds Middlesbrough on 30 points in 14th place, while Wigan Athletic have 24 points in 23rd place. A 3-1 loss to Burnley interrupted Middlesbrough’s three-game winning run; that was also their first loss in six matches, a run in which they have managed four wins. Middlesbrough have one clean sheet in seven Championship games, with both teams scoring in four of their last five Championship games. Their last four matches in the league have all produced over 2.5 goals and in three of their last four Championship games, they’ve scored at least two goals. Middlesbrough have however conceded first in three of their last five Championship games but in the last three home matches in the Championship they are unbeaten.
Wigan Athletic have largely looked like a relegation bound side this season and their run ahead of this game isn’t any different. They have one win in their last 10 matches and that was a 2-1 victory against an equally struggling Blackpool. They have no clean sheet in their last 10 matches and in that period they have lost seven games though only failing to score in three of the 10 matches. In their scoring run, three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they’ve conceded two goals three times in the last five matches. Wigan haven't won any of their last six away matches; they’ve suffered four losses in that period. In the last 12 meetings with Middlesbrough, Wigan are winless.

Our Middlesbrough vs Wigan Prediction
Middlesbrough have the stronger run coming into this game and they will be keen on tightening at the back. While they have done well recently, they have struggled to keep clean sheets and as we back them to bounce back after the Burnley loss, it is not expected to be with a clean sheet. Our prediction therefore for the Middlesbrough v Wigan Athletic game is for both teams to score.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
