Betting on Wigan Athletic F.C.
Kolo Touré can’t handle Wigan. The Tree have not won since November 12, 2022 when they beat Blackpool 2-1. Since then, they have accumulated two draws and four defeats. Apart from their defense, which is filled with gaps, their lack of goals is a major concern.
They have only six goals scored and 12 conceded on average, which is pretty terrible. Wigan has 25 points and is at the bottom of the table: only 4 points separate them from the salvation zone. However, to win, they need to get it in the goal and Wigan seems to be unable to. In addition to all this, they register less than 3 shots per game, they don’t score and when they do, they don’t hit the target.
The team relies heavily on Will Keane, who has scored 10 goals, but the Brit has only scored 3 goals in the last 6 games. No one else is helping him.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Ben Amos, Charlie Hughes, Curtis Tilt, Jack Whatmough; Tendayi Darikwa, Tom Naylor, Max Power, Joe Bennet; Callum Lang, Thelo Aasgaard, Will Keane
Betting on Luton Town
Luton Town were scheduled to host Millwall to open the season, but significant snowfall made it impossible to play. They took advantage of the break brilliantly, winning three games in a row to move up to seventh position. However, they fell short of the promotion play-offs by two points in their most recent match, losing to West Brom by a score of 2-3.
The team is currently in motion after Rod Edwards entered off the bench. At the command of The Hatters, he has had one loss, four victories, and two ties. He has made significant progress and placed an emphasis on offensive vision and midfield order, having a three and five line in the middle.
For his part, Jordan Clark is the pivot and linchpin of the team. He already has three assists, but most of Luton Town’s play passes through his feet. Carlton Morris, despite having six unlucky games, is the team’s highest scorer with eleven goals. He scored one against West Bromwich and two goals against QPR, which means he’s gradually bouncing back.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Ethan Horvath; James Bree, Gabriel Osho, Reece Burke; Alfie Doughty, Louie Watson, Jordan Clark, Allan Campbell, Amarii Bell; Elijah Adebayo, Cauley Woodrow.
JefeBet Prediction
A bad home team and a superb away team will come together in this match: Wigan, who have only won twice at home (thus why they are where they are), and Luton Town, who have won seven times overall. Based on this and the pace of both teams, we believe the Hatters will take the game and sink Wigan even further.
Prediction: Wigan 0-2 Luton Town.
