Wigan vs Oxford United Predictions

• Wigan are unbeaten in their last eight home matches
• Both teams have scored in Wigan’s last three home league games
• Oxford have scored in nine of their 13 away league matches this season

Expect goals at the DW

On an evening of dire League One fixtures; Wigan vs Oxford is comfortably the game of the night. Both of these teams have a tendency to be involved in high scoring games and more of the same is expected at the DW Stadium on Tuesday evening.

14 goals have been scored in Oxford’s last two matches and they have scored in nine of their 13 away League One fixtures this season. Both teams have scored in Wigan’s last three home league matches. I doubt either side will sit back as both teams will be seeking victory to aid their promotion pushes.

Wigan can take a big step towards promotion with a win

Wigan can take a big step towards securing automatic promotion spot with a victory against Oxford. Wigan are a point better off than 3^rd place Sunderland and The Latics have four games in hand. Wigan are unbeaten in their last 18 games, and they haven’t lost on home turf since October, another good showing is expected against Oxford.

Wigan can take further encouragement from reverse fixture in December where they ran out 3-2 winners at the Kassam Stadium. Wigan to win and both teams to score is the main selection in this game and it is probably my strongest fancy on Tuesday. In the correct score market, I will go for a 2-1 home win.
