Wigan Athletic Preview
Wigan Athletic is at the bottom of the Championship standings. The local team has had some pretty negative results that have seen it win just 6, draw 8 and lose 15 of their 29 games. It is undoubtedly a team that has had all kinds of difficulties and is in dire need of a win. So far, they have scored 27 goals and conceded 49.
However, in the last five Championship fixtures they have lost three games (1-4 vs Sunderland; 1-4 vs Hull City; 0-2 vs Luton Town) and drawn two (1-1 vs Cardiff City; 0-0 vs Blackburn Rovers). In fact, their defense is quite bad, as they conceded 11 goals and were able to score only 3.
In these games, players Will Keane and Nathan Broadhead have been the ones who have been able to score. However, if Wigan can get a win they could climb three places in the standings and move level on points with Cardiff City, which is quite attractive.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Ben Amos; Omar Rekik, Martin Kelly, Ryan Nyambe; James McClean, Thelo Asgaard, Max Power, Daniel Sinani, Anthony Scully; Will Keane, Nathan Broadhead.
Huddersfield Town Preview
On the other hand, Huddersfield Town is in 22nd position in the standings and, also with 29 games played, has won 7, drawn 7 and lost 15. In terms of goals, they have scored 28, but conceded 38, leaving them with -10 in goal difference and 28 points, just one behind Cardiff City.
The team’s five most recent matches in the Championship have not been very favorable either, losing two (1-2 vs Luton Town; 2-0 vs Coventry City) and drawing three (1-1 vs Hull City; 1-1 vs Queens Park Rangers; 2-2 vs Blackpool). Although they have been unsatisfactory games, they managed to score five goals.
Huddersfield Town players who scored in these matches were Duane Holmes, Michal Helik, Martyn Waghorn, Matty Pearson and Koroma. If they win, they could catch Rotherham on points, with 32, and move up one position.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Tomas Vaclik; Yuta Nakayama, Michal Helik, Ben Jackson, Charles Ondo; Duane Holmes, Matty Pearson, Josh Koroma; Tyreece Simpson, Danny Ward, Jordan Rhodes.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams have been experiencing a series of bad results. In addition to scoring almost no goals, they do not have a good defense and have a very similar level, therefore, the match is likely to end up in a tie.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
