Wigan
Saturday’s football game at Abbey Stadium pits together Cambridge United and Wigan Athletic, the two sides with contrasting forms in the League One. The U’s are stuck at the bottom with only one point in their pockets and they must be low on confidence following a 1-0 loss to Exeter City. Given their shaky defence, the rock-bottom side are unlikely to grab something from the round 10 clash. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, talented forward Brandon Njoku should sneak into the starting eleven.
Meanwhile, the Latics have been showings signs of improvement of late, with the team sharing the spoils with both Exeter and Stockport, while beating Peterborough. Wigan are more of a team than Cambridge and we predict that the visitors are going to showcase their worth on the field. Talented Latics forward Michael Olakigbe could sneak into the starting XI after finding the net in the EFL Trophy win over Carlisle.
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).
