An important duel in the bottom section of the Championship, with both Wigan Athletic and Luton Town experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 19th and the visitors in 24th place.

Wigan Athletic form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Wigan Athletic have managed 6 wins, 5 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 17 games.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Wigan Athletic, as their goalkeeper David Marshall has completely shut out the opponents for 305 minutes in the Championship.

It's back home for Wigan Athletic, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating West Bromwich Albion away with the result 1-0. Sam Morsy found the net in that victory. Before that match, a win away at Reading.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Wigan Athletic matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, three draws and zero defeats (from four games).

Wigan Athletic are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 17 games. Wigan Athletic have conceded 22 in these home matches.
