Cardiff City aim to continue their strong home form as they take on Wigan Athletic on Sunday afternoon. with the Bluebirds collecting an impressive 2.14 points per game at home and scoring 2.14 goals per match in South Wales, we predict a 3-1 home win. Cardiff's recent run of LLWWD shows recovery in momentum, though defensive concerns remain with 2.00 goals conceded per home outing. Cardiff also produce a healthy 1.76 expected goals at home, reinforcing their ability to create chances even without Colwill and King, who remain sidelined with injuries.
Wigan travels to Wales after a 1-1 draw with Barnsley and have looked more competitive on the road, averaging 1.60 PPG away and conceding just 1.00 goal per away match. Their attack travels well too, scoring 1.40 goals per away game, while 80% BTTS away highlights their open style. Expected goals numbers show balance—1.16 xG and 1.45 xGA—suggesting they often stay in matches but concede chances. The Latics have no fresh injury worries.
Considering Cardiff City's fine form at home and higher scoring output, Home Win boasts big value, alongside Over 2.5 goals and BTTS (Wigan BTTS away at 80%; Cardiff rarely fail to score).
This League 1 match will be played on Sunday 4 January 2026 at 15:00.
