Betting on Wigan Athletic Football Club
The Latics, who will be playing at home, is currently at the bottom of the Championship standings. Shaun Maloney’s team has seven wins, 11 draws and 18 defeats so far this season.
As Wigan has not won in the last five games, it will come to this Wigan Athletic vs Coventry City game with the extensive need to get out of the red zone. Huddersfield Town and Blackpool are its direct rivals with 32 points.
In its most recent match, it lost 3-0 against Burnley, who reinforces its position as the highest scoring team in the tournament with 57 goals conceded. Therefore, a win could mean the first step to stay in the Second Division and avoid relegation.
Possible lineup (4-3-1-2): Ben Amos; Tendayi Darikwa, Charlie Hughes, Steven Caulker, Ryan Nyambe; Tom Naylor, Max Power, Tom Pearce; Josh Magennis; Ashley Fletcher, Callum Lang.
Betting on Coventry City Football Club
The Elephants comes into this Wigan Athletic vs Coventry City in the ninth position in the league. In its last match against Hull City, it drew 1-1 at home with Matt Godden’s goal. After losing due to a defensive error, it managed to salvage at least one point as homeowners.
So far this season, Mark Robins’ team has 14 wins, 11 draws and 11 defeats.
Since Coventry is still undefeated in the last seven rounds, it will come into this game in high spirits. Besides, as it is only four points behind sixth place, its roster is ready to fight for the ticket to the playoffs.
Possible lineup (3-4-1-2): Ben Wilson; Luke McNally, Kyle McFadzean, Callum Doyle; Fankaty Dabo, Josh Eccles, Gustavo Hamer, Jake Bidwell; Ryan Howley; Matt Godden, Viktor Gyökeres.
JefeBet Prediction
We think the away team will take the three points in this Wigan Athletic vs Coventry City.
Coventry City has a powerful offense with players, such as Viktor Gyökeres, who is the second-highest scorer in the Championship and a real nightmare for any defense. Wigan, who has struggled to get off the bottom of the standings, is not a trustworthy team, since it will likely get very defensive against a Coventry that will try to redeem itself after its home lost to Hull City.
Prediction: Coventry City wins 2-0.
