๐ Form Guide
Wigan Athletic
DWDWLL โ
Wigan will be looking for an improved result here following a 2-1 League One defeat in their last game at the hands of Blackpool.
The only scorer from Wigan Athletic was Josh Magennis (89'). Jordan Rhodes (4') and Kenny Dougall (94') scored for Blackpool.
Shaun Maloney's Wigan Athletic have found the net 8 times in their last six outings. The tally of goals that have been scored against them in those same games amounts to 6.
Cambridge United
WLWLWL โ
After a loss in their previous game against Peterborough United in EFL Trophy action, Cambridge United will be aiming to make amends here.
Jadel Katongo (19') and Ephron Mason-Clark (54') scored for Peterborough United.
For 5 of the prior 6 games featuring Cambridge United, a relatively low number of goals have been hit between them and their opponents. The overall average number of goals per game within that period comes out as a paltry 2, with the number of goals averaged by The U's being 1. That kind of trend isnโt assured to be carried forward into this next game, though.
๐ค๐ค Head to head
A glance at their past head-to-head meetings stretching back to 11/11/2000 tells us that Wigan have won 3 of these and Cambridge United 1, with the number of drawn games being 2.
A lot of goals were also scored during this period, 22 in total which averages out at 3.67 goals per meeting.
๐๏ธ Team News: Wigan
Thelo Aasgaard (Shoulder Injury) and Jason Kerr (Cruciate Ligament Injury) are not available for Wigan boss Shaun Maloney.
๐๏ธ Team News: Cambridge United
Thanks to a fully injury-free group to pick from, the Cambridge United manager Mark Bonner does not have any fitness concerns at all coming into this clash.
๐ฎ Prediction
We believe that Cambridge United might need a bit of good fortune to breach the defence of this Wigan Athletic lineup who will likely win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We therefore see a hard-fought 1-0 win for Wigan Athletic when the full-time whistle blows.
Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
