Huddersfield vs Wigan Predictions

Huddersfield to make home advantage count against Wigan

The best bet is a Huddersfield win when they host Wigan in League One on Saturday.

They are three places above Wigan in the table, but just one point separates the two sides. Huddersfield, in eighth place, have won eight and lost eight of their 18 games this season, while Wigan sit 11th with six wins and five losses. This season, 24 (49%) of the 49 games between teams in the top half of League One have been home wins, and backing them to a one-point level stake would have shown a profit of 6.79 points.

The goals are flowing for Huddersfield, who have scored in eight of their last nine league games. They have found the net at least twice in four of their last five matches.

Wigan, on the other hand, have yet to win as an underdog this season, losing eight units from backing them in that role. They have no wins from their eight games as an underdog this season.

Wigan’s defence has been leaky on the road, with no clean sheets in their last 11 League One away games. They have conceded 15 goals in nine matches this season, an average of 1.67 goals against per game.

A narrow 1-0 victory for Huddersfield looks the most likely outcome in the correct-score market. No team has played more League One games with under 2.5 goals than Wigan this season, and two of their five defeats have come by a 1-0 scoreline.
