Wigan Athletic form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League One this season. Wigan Athletic, who have the the worst goal difference (-25) in League One, have only managed 3 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses from their games here at DW Stadium.

No payout for Wigan in their previous match, an away game at Accrington Stanley that ended in defeat 1-3. Preceding that game was the away draw at AFC Wimbledon that finished 1-1.

The manager L. Richardson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Gillingham in only four days.

The Wigan Athletic fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 17 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Wigan with 35 goals conceded in these matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Ipswich Town form and stats

6 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Ipswich Town playing as the away team in the League One this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Ipswich's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Ipswich are travelling again after losing away to Portsmouth in their previous match (1-2). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fleetwood Town wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Ipswich are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 19 away goals from 16 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 21 goals have been conceded by Ipswich in these games.
