Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Concentration will be required as Wigan and Bradford go head-to-head, with little to choose between the sides in terms of who could claim victory. The stats don't supply any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the match. That's a prediction available at best priced odds of 1.57 with the bookies, so we've made under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this one.
