Leeds United
Wigan Athletic are a team with two faces. The Latics have been impressive at home ground in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, but their away record is pretty poor. Wigan head into Sunday’s football game against Leeds United following back-to-back away defeats to Millwall and Sheffield Utd, but they are definitely capable of matching the Whites at their DW Stadium. The Latics managed to keep a clean sheet in each of their previous three home games in the English second tier, meaning that a low-scoring affair is on the horizon. Leeds United were on the verge of suffering a loss to Nottingham Forest, but Roofe’s late goal eventually helped Marcelo Bielsa’s troops pick up one point from the match. Seeing that under 2.5 goals were scored in five of Leeds United’s last six games, we believe that fans are going to see a low-scoring affair at the DW Stadium.

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 (Leeds United):
Leeds United are one of the clubs that won the FA Cup. The Whites outplayed Arsenal in the final of the prestigious competition back in 1972, but they clinched the League Cup trophy as well. Leeds United faced the Gunners in the 1967/1968 League Cup final and it has to be noted that Terry Cooper scored the winner for the Whites. Leeds play their home games at Elland Road and the capacity of the stadium is 37,914. The club was founded in 1919 and they have won three First Division (Premier League) trophies ever since (1968/1969, 1973/1974, 1991/1992). Leeds United made it to the Champions League final in 1975, but they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the title clash. The Whites were impressive under David O’Leary. The likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer, Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka and Ian Harte were part of the Elland Road outfit back then and they did well to reach the semis of the Champions League in 2001.
