Having said that, we must now wait to see if that trend shall continue on here in this match.

🗞️ Team News: Wigan
Luke Chambers (Back injury), Tyrese Francois (Ankle ligament tear), Matt Smith (Hamstring injury), Dion Rankine (Hamstring injury) and Joe Adams (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be playing for Wigan manager Glenn Whelan.
ℹ️ Team News: Cambridge United
In an otherwise full-strength group, there is only a single fitness problem for the Cambridge United boss Neil Harris to be concerned with. Shayne Lavery (Hamstring injury) misses out for this game.
💡 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Cambridge United should be able to score a goal against this Wigan Athletic outfit, but it probably shouldn’t be as many as they will have scored against them.
We’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Wigan Athletic when the full-time whistle blows. Should be an interesting one.
