Football Tips: An 11/2 shout tops our Blackpool v Wigan best bets on Monday
Blackpool vs Wigan: Our top betting tips
Blackpool will welcome Championship rivals Wigan to Bloomfield Road on Monday evening looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. Michael Appleton’s Seasiders are top of the early standings and took another point from a top-six side last weekend, holding title hopefuls Burnley to a goalless draw at Turf Moor.
The Latics meanwhile are yet to win after being relegated from the Premier League and currently prop up the division. Their task of getting their first three points on Monday looks a tough one against in-form hosts who are 11/8 to win.
Blackpool to win
Blackpool showed once again against Burnley that they are a match for anyone in this division and are rightly favourites to beat struggling Wigan. We are backing them to win at home and extend their unbeaten start.
Under 2.5 goals
Despite their impressive start, Blackpool have averaged just one goal per game so far this season and have only seen over 2.5 goals in one of their four matches to date. Wigan have also struggled for goals and have only scored twice in the league so far, so we could see a low-scoring clash at Bloomfield Road.
Charlie Kirk to score anytime
Kirk has emerged as Blackpool's main goal threat, scoring three times already this season, including in three of his last four league outings. He represents good value to find the target again on Monday.

Blackpool v Wigan match preview
Blackpool have made a superb start to the season and have earned plenty of plaudits for their impressive attacking football. They were unlucky to draw against Burnley last weekend and will be looking to get back to winning ways on Monday.
Wigan meanwhile are struggling to adapt to life back in the Championship. They have lost three of their opening four matches and are yet to score on the road. That said, they have a good record against Blackpool and will be hoping to upset the odds on Monday.
