Cambridge United will be looking to build on a successful pre-season when they welcome Wigan Athletic to the Abbey Stadium. The U’s progressed in the EFL Cup after beating Barnet 2-1 and have been particularly impressive at home, winning three of their last five while scoring 2.2 goals per game. Cambridge have also conceded just 0.8 goals per home match across that period. Callum Stead and Patrick Bauer are both expected to make their official debuts as the hosts look to start their League One campaign with another victory.
Wigan, meanwhile, will be eager to bounce back after being eliminated by Barnsley on penalties in the EFL Cup. The Latics have won four of their last 10 matches and boast a strong defensive record, conceding only 0.8 goals per game overall. However, their away numbers are less convincing, with just a 20% win rate and 0.8 goals scored per match. Jason Kerr, Steven Sessegnon, and Will Aimson are no longer with the club, while summer signing Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen is expected to make his debut. Five of the seven previous H2H meetings produced BTTS.
As The U’s are generally strong at home, we believe that gamblers worldwide can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (5 of their 7 previous encounters produced at least three goals).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 15:00.
