Wigan vs Coventry Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Coventry have kept a clean sheet in four of their last six games
• Wigan have failed to score in three of their last five games
• Wigan average 0.72 goals per game at home
• Coventry concede an average of 1.06 per game away from home

Still pushing for playoffs

Coventry City will look to continue their push for the playoff places as they face a Wigan side who have won just once in their last fifteen games. Coventry are currently on an unbeaten run of seven games, which has taken them to within four points of the playoffs.

The Sky Blues have conceded just twice in their last six games, keeping four clean sheets in that time, and will be confident of keeping another, as Wigan have failed to score in three of their last five. On top of this, Wigan score an average of just 0.72 goals per game at home this season, while Coventry concede an average of 1.06 away from home – lower than the league average of 1.33. As a result, a prediction for Coventry to win to nil looks good here.

Wigan look doomed

Wigan Athletic are rock bottom of the Championship and have won just once in their last fifteen games. Six points separate them from safety, and unless they can find a win soon they will be cut adrift. Their goalscoring form is a large reason for this, as they have the third-worst offensive record in the league.

A simple win for Coventry looks inevitable, with a prediction for a 2-0 scoreline seeming favourable, as the Sky Blues look likely to keep another clean sheet against a struggling side.
