Match Time & Date:

10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-2
Sheffield United
The DW Stadium will host Tuesday’s football game between Wigan Athletic and Sheffield United, the two sides who have different ambitions for the 2018/2019 season. The Latics are on a six-game winless run in the Championship and, as a result, they sit in the danger zone in the standings. Seeing that they failed to score in four of their last five league fixtures, we do not believe that Wigan are capable of beating the promotion-chasing rivals on Matchday 26. The Blades, on the other hand, impressed in back-to-back wins over Derby and Blackburn, therefore, it is no surprise they are considered hot favourites to emerge triumphant in the first game of the year. In their last meeting in the English second tier Sheffield United recorded a 4-2 win over Wigan Athletic, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the visitors.
