Wigan Athletic U21 form and stats

Wigan Athletic U21's struggle is real here at The DW Stadium with only 6 points collected from 7 Professional Development League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-0-5.

Wigan's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-6 versus Barnsley U21 (placed 8th). The first defeat after going undefeated in four league matches.

2-2 away at Coventry City U21 before that.

Wigan Athletic U21 are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Wigan are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (15 from 7 played).

It's the second away game in a row for Sheffield Wednesday U21, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Crewe Alexandra U21 (placed 10th) last time out. That win felt good as this club had gone three league matches without winning.

A loss against Peterborough United U21 was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Sheffield Wednesday U21 has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 10 goals from 6 games.
