Burton Albion vs Wigan Athletic
Steve Harrington; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Both Teams to Score
| |
11/10 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Burton need a point to survive and have scored in nine consecutive home games. Wigan, already safe, are unbeaten in six but have seen both teams score in recent meetings against Burton. A tense but open game seems likely — backing both sides to net provides excellent value. | |
Key Stats:
- Burton Albion have scored in nine consecutive home matches at the Pirelli Stadium.
- Wigan Athletic have seen under 2.5 goals land in 10 of their last 12 away outings.
- The last three meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the net.
Rationale
Burton Albion welcome Wigan Athletic to the Pirelli Stadium with their League One survival fate firmly in their own control. Gary Bowyer’s men need just a solitary point to ensure their third-tier status for another year. After a thrilling last-minute triumph over Cambridge United, spirits are high in the Brewers’ camp. Burton have been especially strong at home, hitting the net in their last nine games in front of their supporters, suffering only two defeats across that stretch.
Meanwhile, Wigan Athletic arrive with little left to play for beyond pride. Ryan Lowe’s squad have avoided defeat in their last six matches, but they have also struggled to find the net consistently, boasting one of the division’s lowest scoring tallies. However, both teams have scored in their last three meetings, suggesting Wigan might still pose a threat despite their limited motivation.
