Cheltenham vs Wigan Predictions

• Cheltenham are currently on a ten-match winless run
• Wigan are unbeaten in their last 12 away matches
• Wigan have won their last seven consecutive matches

The Latics juggernaut doesn’t look like stopping

Wigan can currently be backed at a best price of 1/3 to achieve promotion from League One this season. Having just gone past the halfway point of their season (games played) to be available at such short odds highlights what a sterling job Leam Richardson is doing at Wigan. They top on goal difference level on points with 2^nd placed Sunderland, but they have four games in hand on the Black Cats and Wigan look nailed on for promotion.

The Latics last tasted defeat on October 26^th last year and have since put together an 18-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Wigan have won their last seven consecutive matches and are unbeaten in their last twelve on their travels, they’re strongly fancied to extend their remarkable record on Saturday.

Cheltenham have been dragged into the mire

Cheltenham’s recent form, in stark contrast to Wigan has seen Michael Duff’s side be dragged into a relegation battled that seemed almost impossible a few months ago. Things were going swimmingly for Cheltenham up until December. The Robins last victory came at the end of November and have since gone on a ten-match winless run and now perch precariously close to the drop zone.

Wigan have been mightily impressive on their travels this season; they have taken 31 from a possible 36 points on the road and rank as a confident selection against Cheltenham. Despite consistently winning on the road, The Latics don’t keep many clean sheets. They haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last six road league games and as such in the correct score market I will predict a 3-1 away win.
