Crewe vs Wigan Predictions

• The last three meetings between these two sides have all gone under 2.5 match goals
• Crewe have lost their last five consecutive home matches
• No team in League One can better Wigan’s 2.18 PPG from away matches this season

Crewe down and out

Crewe look to be resigned for another stint in League Two next season. Crewe have the worst home recorded in League One this season, having taken just 16 points from their 18 matches on home soil this campaign. David Artell’s side have lost their last five consecutive home games and welcome 2^nd placed Wigan to The Mornflake Stadium on Tuesday, a Wigan side who have the 3^rd best away record in League One this season. Crewe have their work cut out on Tuesday and look set to be cut further adrift at the foot of the League One table.

The Latics strong on their travels

Wigan are enjoying a fabulous season under boss Leam Richardson. Wigan are second in League One just four points behind league leaders Rotherham – The Latics have two games in hand. No team in League One can better Wigan’s PPG average away from home this season – Wigan have taken 37 points from 17 away matches, averaging 2.18 PPG. Wigan also won the reverse fixture 2-0, which was played just a month ago at the DW Stadium. Wigan have lost one of their last eight league games and need to win on Tuesday to keep the pressure on leaders Rotherham, they are fancied to go well against the basement side Crewe.

An away win looks to be the obvious play in this one. I don’t expect it to be a high scoring contest however, the last three matches between these two teams have all gone under 2.5 match goals and only two teams have scored fewer goals in League One than Crewe this season. The main selection for this one will be Wigan to win and under 2.5 goals in the match. The correct score prediction for this one will be a 2-0 Wigan win, a repeat of the same score line from the reverse fixture last month looks entirely feasible.
