West Bromwich Albion vs Wigan Athletic tips

The Baggies continue their push for a top-two finish when they host Wigan on Boxing Day.
The hosts are into third place following Saturday’s 4-0 win over Rotherham. That thumping win has put West Brom comfortably in the top three of the division, as they chase a quick return to the Premier League. The festive fixture list is crucial for the hosts, who have a favourable run of matches which should put them within touching distance of the top two.
Wigan are stuck in the bottom half of the table, only six points clear of the bottom three. They have been left with concerns about dropping into the third tier. After a fantastic start, they’ve started to fall apart, slipping down the table. The Latics have lost their last three games, which is the worst way to warm up for one of the toughest tests in the division – marking the West Brom forward line.
The Baggies are the division’s top scorers, currently on the way towards 100 goals for the season. They’ve managed to bag 50 in their opening 23 matches of the season, while they’ve averaged 2.64 goals per game at home this term.
Wigan have claimed a huge 84% of their points at home this term. They’ve lost 82% of their away games, so I see them losing at the Hawthorns.
