Prediction: 1-0
Peterborough
Wigan Athletic and Peterborough United square off against each other at the DW Stadium in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. The Latics have played out three consecutive goalless draws and they should continue relying on their rock-solid defence. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, both Taylor and Olakigbe are pushing for a start. Australia midfielder Tyrese Francois has yet to overcome his injury, with Luke Robinson missing out as well.
The Posh, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Birmingham City. Considering that Peterborough were beaten by Wigan Athletic in their last meeting at the DW Stadium, we predict a narrow home win. All Rio Adebisi, Ryan De Havilland, Chris Conn-Clarke, Bradley Ihionvien, and Mahamadou Susoho are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Wigan):
Wigan Athletic are one of the winners of the English FA Cup. The Latics won the prestigious trophy in 2013, with the team upsetting Manchester City in the title game. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but it has to be noted that Wigan played in the UEFA Europa League in the 2013/2014 season.
Wigan have been playing their home games at the DW Stadium since 1999 and they had played at Springfield Park in the past. Chorley are considered Wigan’s fierce rivals, but the two teams last met in 1971, when they competed in the Northern Premier League. The likes of Preston North End, Bury, Oldham Athletic, Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are regarded as Wigan Athletic’s rivals as well.
The club was founded in 1932 and they competed in the English Premier League from 2005 to 2013. The colour of Wigan’s home kit is blue and white (stripes).
