Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A real chess match could be in store as Wigan and Rotherham go head-to-head, with little to choose between the players in terms of who might win. The stats don't provide any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the match. It's a prediction which is available at best priced odds of 1.57 with the bookmakers, so we make under 2.5 goals our tip of the day for this tie.
