Blackpool is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Jerry Yates has been the most effective weapon for Blackpool lately. The English attacker has netted three goals in his last 5 matches. Nathan Broadhead and Tom Naylor are the top scorers for Wigan Athletic in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
