Wigan Athletic form and stats

Let's have a look at how Wigan Athletic performed last season in the League One: They landed a 20th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 9 draws and 24 defeats. In total they scored 54 and conceded 77 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 3 and lost 12 with 28/35 goals scored/conceded.

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

The schedule is very tough for Wigan Athletic now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Carabao Cup game at Hull City is waiting in only three days.

It's a day of discovery for Wigan as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Wigan Athletic have played five with the results W5-D0-L0 (win-draw-lost). In these games Wigan Athletic has scored 11 goals and conceded 5 times.

Head 2 Head

Sunderland-Wigan Athletic H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Sunderland four wins, Wigan Athletic four wins, two draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
