Prediction: 1-0
Accrington
Wigan Athletic and Accrington square off against each other at DW Stadium on Matchday 26. The Latics aim to build on a 3-2 win over Oxford United, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Wigan Athletic have been in a fine form of late, and given their attacking potential, home win should be considered. Keep in mind, though, that the Latics have not been in action since December 18, 2021.
A man to watch in the home team will be experienced winger James McClean, who found the net in the triumph over Oxford. The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, aim to stay in top ten, but seeing that Wigan are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match.
