📏 Form Guide

Wigan Athletic

WWLDDW

Wigan will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 3-4 League One victory against Burton Albion.

For Wigan Athletic, the scorers were Kyle Joseph (19', 28', 73') and Will Keane (83'). John-Joe O'Toole (13'), John Brayford (25') and Kane Hemmings (72') scored for Burton Albion.

It’s not been often in recent times that Wigan Athletic have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that The Latics have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 13 goals in the process. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward here, of course.

Taking a look at their past results, Wigan Athletic:

• haven't lost in the league to Hull City in their previous 2 matches.
• are without a home win in the past 2 league games.

Hull City

DDLLLW

Hull City come into this meeting following on from a 2-0 League One win with the downing of Charlton Athletic in their most recent game.

In 5 of the past 6 clashes featuring Hull City, a comparatively low number of goals have been struck between them and their opponents. The overall average number of goals per game during that spell works out to just 2, with the number of goals averaged by The Tigers being 0.83.

Ahead of this meeting, Hull City have not registered a win against Wigan Athletic in games played away from home for the previous 4 league games. Not good.
