Wigan Athletic know they have a strenuous journey to Hull City and their The A2B Stadium. This preview has all the details you require before the match.
- Hull City have the most conceded goals (23) in Championship
- Wigan Athletic have the most points (13) away in Championship
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Championship game only four days ago. That game, against Rotherham United, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Wigan Athletic.
Hull City form and stats
3 victories, 0 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Hull City, who have the most conceded goals (23) in Championship, have to build on here at The A2B Stadium in the Championship. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Hull City with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Coventry City game, 39 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 365 minutes without scoring a league goal. Smith was the last player to find the net.
The Hull City followers got no joy from their last match, also played here at The A2B Stadium: A 0-2 defeat against Luton Town (placed 8th). Coyle, defender, was given a rating of 7.83/10 in that game, top of the team. Coyle hit one key pass and won 13 of 13 duels.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Swansea City (0-3).This is expected to be a close game, with Hull City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hull as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Hull City has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 5.
Hull City are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Huddersfield Town awaits in four days.
Hull City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Hull have conceded 11 from these games.
Wigan Athletic form and stats
4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of Wigan Athletic, who have the most points (13) away in Championship, playing as the away team in the Championship this season. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Wigan Athletic's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Birmingham City game.
Wigan Athletic play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Rotherham United (placed 11th). Whatmough, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.3. Whatmough hit two key passes and won 3 of 6 duels.
Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Reading.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wigan Athletic playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 5 Wigan Athletic wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
A new game in only three days for Wigan, the Championship home match versus Cardiff City. Busy days.
The travelling fans enjoy Wigan Athletic's attacking play in away games, having scored 8 goals in 5 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Hull City three wins, three draws and Wigan Athletic four victories. As for goals, nine matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
