After a solid last season in which Blackpool finished with only three points fewer than the playoff zone, many saw the team from Lancashire in a similar position in the 2024/25 season, too. However, after only 15 points in the first 12 League rounds, they are only five points above the drop zone. Blackpool are in terrible form, as they lost the last three matches in a row. In the previous game, they lost 5-1 on the road against Peterborough.
Wigan have a similar road to Wigan. Last season, they were a mid-table team, but in the 2024/25 season, Shaun Maloney's team is struggling. There is a fear they could even fight to stay in the league, as they collected only 13 points in 12 matches. Wigan haven't impressed lately, either, as they stayed pointless in the previous two rounds. In the last match, Maloney's team lost 2-1 at home against Mansfield. However, the home side finished that game with 64% ball possession and 21 shots on the goal more than the opponent, but their inefficiency cost them points.
Blackpool vs Wigan pick: Under 2.5 goals
Both teams are struggling offensively as both of them scored only three goals in the last four matches. We should expect two or fewer goals in the upcoming tie between Blackpool and Wigan.

Blackpool team news
Blackpool's manager, Steve Bruce, missed the previous two games due to the death of his grandson. In his absence, the team is led by assistant coach Steve Agnew. At the moment, we don't know when Steve Bruce will return after the family tragedy.
Dominic Thomson, Kylian Kouassi, and Andrew Lyons are injured, so they should skip the upcoming tie against Wigan.

Wigan team news
Wigan's probably the best player this season is Luke Chambers, the defender, who is on loan from Liverpool. However, after ten league games for Wigan, the center-back suffered an injury that will keep him out of the pitch until January. Besides Chambers, Wigan will also be without Tyrese Francois and Jonny Smith on Monday in Blackpool.
