Wigan to Win or Draw and Over 1.5 Goals
Wigan have won the last two meetings with Huddersfield and drew the third one. The goals statistics indicate that there is a 72% chance that this match will produce over 1.5 goals.
Huddersfield 0 Goals Handicap
Huddersfield drew three of their last four games in the Championship and covered the 0 goal handicap. Overall, Huddersfield managed to beat the handicap 14 times this term by winning and drawing seven times each.
Anytime Correct Score 1-1
The suggested scoreline was present in Wigan’s five of their last nine league games and also five times at the half and as a final result. In the meantime, Huddersfield’s five of their last seven games in the Championship also saw the 1-1 score.
Wigan
With the 0-0 away draw at Blackburn, Wigan Athletic extended their winless run to eight matches, drawing three and losing five games in the process. The Latics are currently sitting at the bottom of the Championship table with 26 points, three below the safety zone.
In proof of Wigan’s defensive weakness, the Latics conceded at least a goal in 13 of their 15 home games. The fact that Wigan beat Huddersfield in the opposite fixture, boss Shaun Maloney will hope his team will get inspiration from that and register their first win after four defeats in a row.
Huddersfield
It can be considered as two points lost for Huddersfield as they returned from Blackpool with a 2-2 draw after going in front twice in the match. The Terriers conceded the equalizer in the 90th minute which deprived them of three points they badly needed.
In fact, this was the eighth time this season in 15 matches that Huddersfield concede an equalizer after leading in a match. Moreover, the Terriers allowed their opponents to score nine times between the 76th-90th minute and dropped eight six points because of that.
This can be a do-or-die match for Wigan as a defeat may cement their position at the bottom. Nevertheless, the Latics are favorites to win this game and we will back them with a double chance and combine it with over 1.5 goals.
The average total number of corners awarded in Wigan’s games is 8.93 corners per game and 9.11 corners per game in Huddersfield’s matches. Wigan usually win 4.40 corners per game at home while Huddersfield win 3.69 in their away games. With odds of 1.44 at 1xBet, we predict to see under 11 corners.
