Wigan Athletic
DDWWDD 📈
Previously, Wigan drew 1-1 in the League One tie with Burton Albion.
The only scorer from Wigan Athletic was Ronan Darcy (96'). Rumarn Burrell (57') scored for Burton Albion.
The strike force from Wigan have suffered from a shortage of goals over their previous 6 clashes, netting the poor return of just 4. In those fixtures, The Latics have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 2.
Going into this one, Wigan Athletic haven't been beaten by Northampton Town in games played away from home for the previous 5 league games. A very good record, indeed.
↔️ Head to head
Inspecting their past head to head meetings dating back to 01/01/2018 shows us that Northampton Town have won 1 of these and Wigan 4, with the tally of drawn results being 1.
A sum of 15 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 6 of them from The Cobblers and 9 belonging to The Latics. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.5.

ℹ️ Team News: Northampton Town
Ali Koiki (Muscle injury) and Callum Morton (unknown injury) will not be able to play for Northampton Town manager Kevin Nolan.
ℹ️ Team News: Wigan
Wigan manager Ryan Lowe has not got a full squad to pick from. Luke Chambers (Back injury) and Joe Adams (Cruciate ligament injury) miss out here.
🧠 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Wigan Athletic and Northampton Town may both find scoring difficult here.
We’ll have to see, but a draw might be on the cards. We’re therefore predicting a hard-fought 0-0 score after 90 minutes.
