Shrewsbury Town
LLDLLD ⚠
Shrewsbury Town will play in this fixture following a 1-1 League One draw vs Lincoln City.
The only scorer from Shrewsbury Town was Aaron Pierre (23'). Tom Bayliss (4') was the scorer for Lincoln City.
It has been seldom in recent times that Shrewsbury Town have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Shrewsbury Town have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 11 goals on the way.
Their previous form shows that Shrewsbury Town:
- have not won against Wigan Athletic in their previous 8 league matches.
- haven’t won at home in the past 7 league games. That's never good.
Wigan Athletic
LDLDDD ⚠
Previously, Wigan drew 0-0 in the League One tie with Wrexham.
Over the course of 5 of the prior 6 games involving Wigan Athletic, a relatively low number of goals have been struck between them and their opponents. The overall average goals scored per game within that period is a mere 1.33, with the number of goals averaged by The Latics standing at 0.5. That trend won’t necessarily follow through into this game, of course.
A look at their previous results shows us that Wigan Athletic:
- are undefeated by Shrewsbury Town in away games against them for the last 3 matches in the league.
- are undefeated in their previous 2 away league matches.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 7 league matches.
↔️ Head to head
Checking on their past head to head meetings stretching back to 10/11/2021 shows that these fixtures have ended in disappointment for Shrewsbury Town. They have not been able to get themselves any victories at all while Wigan have been superior, running out winners in 83% of those match-ups.
A sum of 15 goals were shared by the two clubs in this period, with 3 of them from The Shrews and 12 netted by The Latics. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.5.
The last league encounter featuring these clubs was League One match day 21 on 21/12/2024 which finished with the scoreline of Wigan Athletic 2-2 Shrewsbury Town.
The match was refereed by Thomas Parsons.
📋 Team News: Wigan
Wigan boss Ryan Lowe has a number of players out of action. Luke Chambers (Back injury), Dion Rankine (Hamstring injury), Matt Smith (Hamstring injury), Tyrese Francois (Ankle ligament tear) and Joe Adams (Cruciate ligament injury) can’t be considered.
✨ Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Shrewsbury Town might have a difficult job to score against this Wigan Athletic lineup who should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
We’re therefore predicting a very competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Wigan Athletic when all is said and done.
Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
