Prediction: 1-2
Derby County
The DW Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Wigan Athletic and Derby County. The Rams quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Stoke City, with the team beating Swansea City at home ground at the weekend, but Frank Lampard’s men need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure promotion to the Premier League. The 2018/2019 season has been a mixed bag for Wigan Athletic and, as a result, they occupy 15th position in the standings after 20 rounds. The Latics are undefeated in previous three league fixtures, but seeing that the Rams have been producing fine performances on the road this season, away win should be considered. A man to watch in Frank Lampard’s team will be Harry Wilson, who scored a brace in the 2-1 win over the Swans. The former Hull City attacker has already netted seven goals in the Championship this season.

Highlighted Player (Will Grigg):
Wighan Athletic striker Will Grigg became a viral sensation during the European Championship in France but the chances are any avid football fan will have been well aware of his goalscoring exploits even before 2016. The 27-year-old forward began his career at Stratford Town but it was in Walsall that the world took notice of his presence after 27 goals in 99 performances for the club.
He first came to prominence during the 2012/13 season when he was voted the club’s Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season, but a loan spell at Milton Keynes Dons during his rather unfortunate two-year spell over at Brentford proved crucial for his career.
The total of 20 goals in 44 appearances at Stadium MK was where Wigan Athletic noticed the Northern Ireland man and moved in to sign him on a three year contract for a £1 million fee in 2015. ‘Will Grigg’s on Fire’ was the hit song of the Euro 2016 even though the Northern Ireland striker ended up not getting a chance to make a bow in the tournament.
Highlighted Team (Derby County):
Derby County is one of the 12 founder members of the Football League. However, nowadays the Rams compete in the Championship and they play their home matches at Pride Park Stadium. Derby County have won the two trophies in the English top flight (1971/1972, 1974/1975), with the team lifting the FA Cup trophy just after the World War II (1946).
Derby’s main rivals are Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Leeds United, but the rivalry between Forest and Derby is regarded as the biggest one.
The two teams take on each other in the East Midlands derby. The colour of Derby’s shirts is white, whilst their shorts are black. It has to be noted that the club was founded in 1884 by William Morley. The Rams competed in the European competitions four times, but they did not record a notable result in the European Cups. The club’s chairman is Mel Morris.
