Wigan vs Blackpool
Wigan go into this game following a 2-2 Championship drawn game against Swansea City.
In that match, Wigan Athletic had 23% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For Wigan Athletic, the goals were scored by Will Keane (8') and Tom Naylor (16'). Swansea City got 13 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Ryan Manning (44') and Joël Piroe (84') scored for Swansea City.
It has been a rare occasion in recent games where Wigan Athletic have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Wigan Athletic have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 12 goals in the process. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.
Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Luton Town in Championship action,
Blackpool and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that match, Blackpool managed 59% possession and 20 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. Luton Town had 11 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Luke Berry (57') was the scorer for Luton Town.
The stats don’t lie, and Blackpool have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 11 goals overall. In defence, Blackpool have seen their frailties exposed. Prediction; Wigan to win the game.
