Our prediction for this Championship match:
Wednesday’s football game at MKM Stadium pits together Hull City and Wigan Athletic, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Tigers are on a dreadful five-game losing run, and given their difficulties in front of goal, we do not believe that home win should be considered. All Vaughn Covil, Benjamin Tetteh, Brandon Flaming, and Billy Chadwick are injured for the home team.
The Latics, on the other hand, did well to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Reading, with the team beating Rotherham United 2-0 on the road. Wigan have a chance to climb to the playoffs places, and given the current atmosphere in Hull City’s dressing room, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Andy Dawson’s troops. Both Gwion Edwards and Jordan Cousins are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Callum Elder):
Callum Elder is an Australia international who plays for Hull City in the League One. Elder started his youth career at Manly United, but in 2011 he was spotted by Leicester City scouts. Despite being a Leicester City player from 2013 to 2019, he did not see any game action with the Foxes in the Premier League.
Callum Elder played for the likes of Mansfield Town, Peterborough United, Brentford, Barnsley, Wigan Athletic, and Ipswich Town before signing a three-year contract with the Tigers for an undisclosed fee. Speaking of his international career, the pacey left-back has one cap with the Australia U20 team.
Elder’s favourite position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a centre-back as well. Elder wears the No. 3 jersey at Hull City, and he is an athletic full-back who likes getting up and down the left-hand side. The Australian player was born on January 27, 1995.
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).
