Wigan Athletic, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 home defeat by Cardiff City will have left the Wigan Athletic squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Cardiff City's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
A home win for Wigan Athletic is just a distant memory, having not won at DW Stadium in 8 games.
Goalscorer Will Keane will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Wigan Athletic.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Blackburn Rovers racked up a stunning 3-0 home win against Rotherham United. During that encounter they recorded 55% of the possession and had 19 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 2 of their 9 shots on goal.
Manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Blackburn Rovers, Ben Brereton Díaz will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It ended in disappointment and a 2-0 defeat for Blackburn Rovers last time they met Wigan Athletic in the league, with The Latics defying the odds to take the win.
Wigan have managed to keep a clean sheet against Rovers in each of their previous 2 meetings.
In the league, Wigan has a good track record when they host Blackburn, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
James McClean has scored in each of Wigan's last 2 league games against Blackburn.
With only Jordan Cousins (Calf) and Gwion Edwards (Achilles tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Leam Richardson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Blackburn manager Jon Dahl Tomasson ahead of this clash, with Sam Barnes (Knee) missing out, which gives Dahl Tomasson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
