Wigan vs Fleetwood Town Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of Fleetwood’s last six matches
• Both teams have scored in 50% of Wigan’s league victories this season
• The reverse fixture finished 3-2 in Wigan’s favour at the beginning of November

Both teams scoring is a regular theme in Fleetwood games 

Both teams scoring has been a regular theme of Fleetwood’s games recently – both teams have scored in five of their last six matches. Stephen Crainey’s young side tend to play on the front foot, and this often makes for exciting matches. Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Portsmouth is a prime example of this, a game in which Fleetwood were 3-0 up in. Saturday’s capitulation must have left a sour taste in the mouth, and they may well struggle to overcome this set back against high-flyers Wigan.

A similar outcome to the reverse fixture may well be in the offing

The reverse fixture between these two sides ended in a 3-2 Wigan win at the beginning of November – another high scoring contest looks entirely feasible given the nature of Fleetwood’s recent games. Both teams look likely to score in this one and that shouldn’t trouble Wigan too much, 50% of The Latics league victories this season have come in games where both teams have scored.

The main selection for this game will be Wigan to win and both teams to score in the match. Wigan are fancied to bounce straight back from last Saturday’s home defeat against Sunderland and extend the gap on 3^rd place MK Dons to three points. The correct score prediction for this game will be a 2-1 Wigan victory.
