Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Wigan Athletic will be eager to return to winning ways when they host Lincoln City in League One round 30. The Latics suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Peterborough in their last league match, but their performances at home have been relatively strong, giving them confidence ahead of this clash. The good news for the hosts is that they have no fresh injury concerns to contend with.
Lincoln, meanwhile, are also looking to bounce back after a 2-0 loss to Blackpool. The Imps have shown attacking intent in recent matches, and with both teams pushing for a positive result, an open contest is expected at the DW Stadium. However, the visitors will likely be without Scottish forward Ben House, which could impact their attacking options. Given that both sides will be aiming for all three points, both teams to score betting option should be considered.
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).
