Conclusion & Betting Tips

Wigan Athletic and Nottingham Forest produce the joint lowest number of shots on target so far this season in the Championship. Last season, both teams played really even games (really small shots on target difference) at home to top half teams and away to bottom half teams respectively.
Also, the two most recent games (and three of the four most recent games) between the two teams at DW Stadium have ended in a stalemate.
My Betting Tip is Draw.
Stake at 5/10 units.
