Betting on Wigan Athletic
First, Wigan Athletic is 22nd in the Championship table, two places off the bottom and two and three points behind their rivals above them (Cardiff City and Rotherham, respectively). In 31 games played, they have won 7 games, drawn 9 and lost 15.
Undoubtedly, there have more than twice losses than wins, and this is a heavy burden for the team to carry. Furthermore, should they lose, they could be overtaken by both Huddersfield and Blackpool.
In their last few Championship rounds, they have struggled mightily to get a win. In fact, they went eight matchdays without winning a single game. Regarding the five most recent, however, they lost one game (0-2 vs Luton Town), drew three (1-1 vs Cardiff City; 0-0 vs Blackburn Rovers; 1-1 vs Bristol City) and won one, the one mentioned above (1-0 vs Huddersfield Town).
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Ben Amos; Ryan Nyambe, Charlie Hughes, Jack Whatmough; Tom Pearce, Thelo Aasgaard, Max Power, Christ Tiehi, James McClean; Callum Lang, Ashley Fletcher.
Betting on Norwich City F.C.
On the other hand, Norwich City’s luck and skill has been very different from that of Wigan Athletic. In the same number of Championship rounds, they have won 13 games, drawn 6 and lost 12. This team definitely has a better balance between wins and losses. This has given them 45 points in the table, and they are tied on points and goal difference with West Brom. Speaking of goals, they have scored 43 and allowed 36, which are very good numbers.
In Norwich City’s recent Championship matches, they have performed very well. Out of five games, they have won three by three goals or more (0-4 vs Preston North End; 2-4 vs Coventry City; 3-1 vs Hull City) both home and away, which is a very good sign. In addition, they lost two games (0-3 vs Burnley; 1-0 vs Bristol City), the first of those two was a good drubbing; however, this loss happened against the current championship leader.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Angus Gunn; Max Aarons, Andrew Omobamidele, Grant Hanley, Dimitris Giannoulis; Kenny McLean, Gabriel Sara, Kieran Dowell; Onel Hernandez, Josh Sargent, Adam Idah.
