Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A real chess match could be in store as Wigan and Wrexham go head-to-head, with little to choose between the players in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The stats don't give us any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the fixture. That prediction is available at best priced odds of 1.48 with the bookmakers, so we're making under 2.5 goals our tip of the day for this tie.
