Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormBlackburn Rovers manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Bristol City. In that game they had 44% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Bristol City who had 11 attempts and 3 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Dahl Tomasson will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 12 out of 13 home games. When playing at home this season, Blackburn Rovers has notched up a tally of 6 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
They have had a good run of form at Ewood Park recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Wigan Athletic, Recent FormLosing 2-0 home to Luton Town won't leave the Wigan Athletic squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Luton Town's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Despite scoring 5 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 17 goals in that same period. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 games. Given that they have scored in 12 of their away games this season, their travelling support will be feeling optimistic about a good result whenever they are on their travels.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
Will Keane has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Blackburn Rovers.
It ended in disappointment and a 1-0 defeat for Blackburn Rovers last time they met Wigan Athletic in the league, with The Latics defying the odds to take the win.
Ahead of this match, Blackburn won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in their last 3 meetings against The Latics.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Wigan has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Blackburn in 3 games.
With only Sam Barnes (Knee) and Callum Brittain (Medial Collateral Ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jon Dahl Tomasson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) and Tom Pearce (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Kolo Touré will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
