Prediction: 2-1
Wigan
This Saturday's EFL Championship matchday 11, will see mid-table Wigan travel to Hillsborough Stadium to face playoffs chasing Sheffield Wednesday. Both teams seem to be in a similar vein of form having won just 2 of their last five league matches coupled with inconsistent performances. Sheffield, who sits 8th in the league, started its season brightly winning three of their first four league games but seemed to have slowed down since.
Wigan meanwhile after a solid opening day victory, failed to win any of its next six games which resulted in it dropping to the lower mid-table on 17th. Sheffield edges the head to head having won five of the nine games played between the two. Wigan won the remaining four games. During the season, both teams have showcased their unpredictability which we feel could end up describing the nature of this game. Sheffield at home will fancy its chances while Wigan will look to build on its nervy win against Birmingham in its last outing. Historically this fixture has seen over 2.5 goals on an average, and we believe it to be a possibility this time around as well.

Highlighted Player (Steven Fletcher):
Steven Fletcher is a professional footballer who plays for Sheffield Wednesday. After ending his loan spell with Marseille, he joined the Owls on a free transfer in July 2016. Steven Fletcher was born in Shrewsbury, England on 26 March, 1987 and he began his youth career at Hibernian.
He made his debut for the Scottish outfit on 10 April, 2004 in a 3-0 win over Kilmarnock. After spending three years at Burnley and Wolverhampton Fletcher signed a four-year deal with Sunderland for a fee of £12 million. The left-footed attacker scored 11 goals in 28 appearances for the Black Cats in the 2012/2013 Premier League campaign and he was struggling in front of goal in the 2013/2014 season, scoring no more than three league goals.
Steven Fletcher was eligible to play for both England and Scotland, but he decided to represent his mother’s home country. Fletcher made his Scotland debut in March 2008, in a friendly against Croatia. He did well to provide an assist for Kenny Miller, who scored the equaliser for the Scotts (1-1).
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).
