English Premier
2012-05-07 - Blackburn Rovers vs Wigan Athletic
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Monday Night Football comes from Ewood Park as Blackburn Rovers host relegation rivals Wigan on Monday knowing that they must win or they will get relegated to the Championships.
Blackburn comes into this match with six defeats in their last seven matches. In contrast, Wigan have won five of their last seven games heading into this match.
Meanwhile, Wigan can still be relegated themselves but a point will almost certainly be enough for them to secure their Premier League status as their goal difference is far superior to that of third-bottom Bolton.
And if Wigan gets a win at Ewood Park, it would be their first ever win at Blackburn, as they have suffered defeats in their last five visits. Nevertheless confidence is high at Wigan that they will secure their safety and relegate their Lancashire rivals in this match.
