Wigan Athletic form and stats

Wigan Athletic's struggle is real here at DW Stadium with only 10 points collected from 13 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-7. The Wigan manager L. Richardson might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Wigan faced defeat in their previous match, away at Oxford United (1-2). Before that match, a win away at Northampton Town.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Wigan as they have a new game in only three days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Lincoln City are visiting.

Wigan are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 13 games. Wigan are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (27 from 13 played).

Hull City form and stats

As the visiting team in League One matches, Hull City, who have the most scored goals (26) away in League One, have produced an overall stat of 7-2-5 so far. Hull seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The attacking players of Hull have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 355 minutes.

Hull's previous game was their home loss versus Milton Keynes Dons (0-1). A draw for Hull before that, at their own venue hosting Lincoln City (0-0).

Hull has another fixture away, a League One game, against Doncaster Rovers in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Hull has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 26 goals from 14 games. Hull have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Wigan won six, Hull City won two and two draws. nine games with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.
