The path has mostly gone uphill for Wigan Athletic so far, and that also applies to Huddersfield Town. These brave battlers would trade their mothers for some important points here.
- Wigan Athletic have the most conceded goals (49) in Championship
- Huddersfield Town have the fewest points (10) away in Championship
Huddersfield Town could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Championship game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Blackpool. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Wigan Athletic form and stats
With 2 Championship wins, 3 draws and 10 defeats from their home games, Wigan Athletic are certainly not brimming with confidence. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at The DW Stadium, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Blackpool game.
Keane was the last player to score a league goal for Wigan and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Wigan Athletic haven't scored in 180 minutes.
An away draw last time out for Wigan Athletic, facing Blackburn Rovers in a game that ended 0-0. Amos, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.83 out of 10 in that game. Amos topped it up with a clean sheet.
Preceding that match was the home game against Luton Town that was lost 0-2.This is expected to be a close game, with Wigan Athletic perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Wigan Athletic as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Wigan Athletic has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.
The manager Maloney will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bristol City in only four days.
Wigan aren't scoring a lot here at The DW Stadium in the league, with only {11 goals} from 15 games.
