Wigan vs Reading Predictions

• Wigan have lost one of their last eight league matches (W3, D4)
• All three of Wigan’s league wins this season have come by a one-goal margin
• Reading have failed to score in three of their four away league matches this season

Latics enjoying their return to the second tier

Wigan are enjoying a fruitful return to English footballs second tier having lost just one of their opening eight Championship matches this term. Wigan go into Saturday’s game having recorded back-to-back away wins at Luton and Huddersfield in their last two outings. Wigan will be full of confidence on Saturday and are fancied to secure maximum points at the DW Stadium, but they may do so by the barest of margins – all three of Wigan’s league wins this season have come by a one-goal margin. 

The Royals tend to be goal shy on the road 

Reading have thrown up a real mixed bag this season, five wins and four defeats from their opening nine Championship matches. Reading have failed to score in all four of those defeats, three of which came away from home. Reading have conceded nine and scored just once on their travels this season and despite currently occupying a spot in the play-offs, no team in the Championship has scored fewer away goals than The Royals this season – Reading’s minus 8 goal difference on the road is the worst in the division.

Wigan to Win and Under 2.5 Match Goals will be the main selection for Saturday’s game, with a 1-0 home victory forming the Correct Score prediction.
