📏 Form Guide

Wigan Athletic

DDLDLL ⚠

Wigan will be wanting a better result here following the 3-0 Championship losing effort in their last game against Burnley.

In that match, Wigan Athletic managed 21% possession and 2 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Burnley had 27 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. Nathan Tella (14', 47') and Lyle Foster (76') scored for Burnley.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Wigan Athletic have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Wigan Athletic have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 8 goals during that time. We will have to see whether or not that trend will be continued on here.

A look at their previous results shows us that Wigan Athletic:

• are unbeaten in their last 3 league matches at home.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.

📋 Team News: Wigan

Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Wigan gaffer Shaun Maloney to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group of players. Jason Kerr (Cruciate Ligament Injury) will miss out.

In all likelihood, The Latics will probably use the 4-3-1-2 formation this time, beginning the first half with Ben Amos, Tendayi Darikwa, Charlie Hughes, Steven Caulker, Ryan Nyambe, James McClean, Max Power, Christ Tiehi, Danel Sinani, Will Keane and Ashley Fletcher.

ℹ️ Team News: Coventry City

Due to a mostly full-strength squad, there is only a single fitness issue for the Coventry City boss Mark Robins to be concerned about. Ben Sheaf (Calf Strain) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that The Sky Blues seem likely to utilise a 3-4-1-2 formation, giving starts to Ben Wilson, Luke McNally, Kyle McFadzean, Callum Doyle, Jack Burroughs, Jake Bidwell, Gustavo Hamer, Josh Eccles, Sean Maguire, Viktor Gyoekeres and Matt Godden.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Wigan Athletic will need to put in a solid display to be putting a goal past this Coventry City team who we think should emerge victorious.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a good battle with a 0-1 win for Coventry City when all is said and done.

Hoping for a good game.
