Prediction: 1-0
Wigan
There will be fireworks when Sheffield Wednesday and Wigan Athletic take on each other at Hillsborough on Tuesday evening. The Owls are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence. Sylla Sow is pushing for a start, while all Dominic Iorfa, Dennis Adeniran, Josh Windass, and Lewis Gibson are sidelined with injuries. Both Cheyenne Dunkley and Harlee Dean are pushing for a start.
The Latics, on the other hand, aim to stay in automatic promotion berth, but they will have a big fish to fry in Tuesday’s clash. Considering that Sheffield Wednesday are on a three-game winning run at Hillsborough, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Gwion Edwards is banned for the visitors, while both Jordan Cousins and Scott Smith remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Sam Hutchinson):
Sam Hutchinson is a defender who is capable of playing as both right and centre back. The English footballer, who was born on 3 August, 1989 is capable of playing as a defensive midfielder as well, but he doesn’t score too many goals. Hutchinson was born in Windsor, Berkshire and he began his youth career at Chelsea.
The defender made just five appearances for Chelsea and it has to be noted that he played on loan at Nottingham Forest, Vitesse and Sheffield Wednesday. On 23 May 2014 Chelsea released him, meaning that he was available for free transfer. Hutchinson signed a permanent deal with the Owls on 8 July, 2014.
The 182-cm-tall defender played 25 games for Sheffield Wednesday in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign, but he did not find the net for the Hillsborough outfit. Sam Hutchinson is married to Jennifer, who gave birth to their daughter. His father Eddie Hutchinson had a career in non-League football.
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).
