Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Hull City & Wigan Athletic face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Hull and Wigan Athletic.

Hull City form and stats

Last season their Carabao Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.

A good away victory last time out for Hull City, who won 4-1 against Preston North End. Midfield player Richard Smallwood got a match rating of 8.6 in that game, the max score being 10. Smallwood scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and had 35 successful passes (of 41 total).

Heartbreak before that as Hull lost 0-1 at Charlton Athletic's place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hull have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won eight times, drawn three and lost two.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Hull as they have a new game in only four days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Queens Park Rangers are visiting.

Wigan Athletic form and stats

Wigan Athletic was sent out of Carabao Cup in the 1st round last season.

The visitors are W0-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the League One. It's a growing despair in Wigan Athletic as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Wigan Athletic lost away at Sunderland (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Midfielder Gwion Edwards was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.44. Edwards scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Preceding that, the 3-4 home loss versus Swindon Town.

We have checked recent matches where Wigan have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were three victories, three draws and eight defeats.

A new game in only four days for Wigan, the League One home match versus Rotherham United. Busy days.

It's early days yet, but Wigan Athletic has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Hull won four games, two matches ended with a draw and Wigan Athletic has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: ten / zero
