Wigan vs QPR tips and predictions

Odds-against price stands out for home side

The jury's still out on this one but it should be a good game.

You'll have your own opinion but Wigan might have reasons to be confident about adding to QPR's woes. Adversity has slowly been mounting up for this group of away players over their last 8 fixtures. They've been beaten 7 times in that period. It doesn't look like the recent record of a squad that will fancy their chances.

Recently there's been a lot of exuberant comments about the home side's defence. Credit where it's due; these have been effective tactics as they have conceded no more than once in all of their last 4 home games. At the same time their opponents here have lacked resistance under pressure in recent times. QPR have conceded three or more goals in 5 of their last 7 matches. And when creating chances the visitors have sometimes hesitated to pull the trigger. They've scored one or less goals in 19 of their last 20 matches.

This is not the first time they've met. Wigan have won 2 of the last 4 fixtures between the two teams. Some analysts like to ignore them but the head-to-head stats point to another home win.

A less optimistic outlook is that they may end up in stalemate. Each of the two sides is capable of turning a game on its head and it might be a match with scoring chances at both ends. It's not the best bet in today's schedule but the Yes BTTS bet is the speculative side bet.
