Wigan vs Huddersfield Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Wigan average 2.00 goals conceded per game at home
• Both teams have scored in 60% of Wigan’s home games, and 64% of Huddersfield’s away fixtures
• Huddersfield have collected nine points across their last seven games, compared to Wigan’s two

A relegation dogfight

Both sides go into this game knowing a loss could result in them being cut adrift from the rest when it comes to the push for promotion. Huddersfield are currently better placed, sitting in 22nd place and four points from safety, but are just two points off their opponents who lay rock bottom of the table. Both sides will need to push for victory on Saturday, and with both teams to score being a winner in 60% of Wigan’s home games and 64% of Huddersfield’s away fixtures, this could be the case again in what will be a tight game on Saturday.

Huddersfield edge the form

Neither side have found any sort of winning form this season, and are both without wins in their last five games, but while Wigan have collected just two points in their last seven, Huddersfield have managed nine. This slight advantage will give the terriers hope as they travel to the DW Stadium with hopes of collecting another three points from a rival. A correct score prediction of 2-1 to the visitors looks good here.

Wigan’s home struggles

It’s safe to say Wigan have struggled in most games this season, currently sitting bottom of the league having picked up just one win in their last 16 games. Their home form, however, will be a particular worry to them. Averaging 2.00 goals conceded per game at home, compared to 1.36 away, and 0.60 points per game, compared to 1.21 when they play away.

This leads to a Huddersfield win looking like good odds at 9/4, as Wigan are showing no sign of picking up their home form, despite playing a relegation rival.
