Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Wigan Athletic & Chorley face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Wigan Athletic form and stats
Wigan Athletic was eliminated in the 3rd round last season in the FA Cup.1-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Wigan Athletic so far this season. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Wigan to get some points in this home game.
Before that game, the home loss against Northampton Town with the scoreline 2-3.
The manager J. Sheridan will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tranmere Rovers in only three days.
Wigan Athletic has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Wigan have conceded 8 from these games.
Chorley form and stats
Chorley's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 1st round.The Vanarama National League North season is young and Chorley have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Chorley have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Chesterfield game. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Chorley, who have now gone 19 games without a victory. The Dagenham & Redbridge game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Chorley are looking to quickly end their 308 minutes long goal drought in the Vanarama National League North.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Bradford Park Avenue in their previous outing. The Vanarama National League North match ended in a draw 0-0. A 0-2 loss hosting Kidderminster Harriers before that.
You'll want to know how Chorley managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found two similar matches resulting in zero away wins, one draw and one home win.
After this away game Chorley return home for a Vanarama National League North game against Guiseley. That game is only two sleeps after this.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Chorley's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. Chorley have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
