Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Wigan Athletic will look to make amends for a heavy 3-0 loss to Sunderland when they take on Fleetwood Town in a postponed League One game. The Latics are eager to stay in automatic promotion berth, but both MK Dons and Oxford United are breathing down their neck. All Jordan Cousins, Tom Pearce, Thelo Aasgaard and Scott Smith are sidelined with injuries, while Stephen Humphrys is pushing for a start.
The Cod Army, on the other hand, are eager to escape the danger zone, given their anything but good form, we do not believe that Wigan will have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. As for the visitors, Anthony Pilkington is unlikely to feature in the midweek clash after limping off with injury in a 3-3 draw with Portsmouth, while all Josh Harrop, Brad Halliday, Darnell Johnson, Daniel Batty, Harrison Holgate, Jordan Rossiter, and Ged Garner remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Jason Kerr):
Jason Kerr is a professional footballer who plays for St Johnstone as a defender. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on February 6, 1997, Jason Kerr is a product of the St Johnstone football academy. He started his senior career in 2014, and after ending his loan spells with East Fife and Queen of the South, he returned to the McDiarmid Park outfit in 2018.
He made his debut with the Saints in the Scottish Cup game against Albion Rovers on January 29, 2019. Jason Kerr has six caps with the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the senior team.
He scored his first goal for St Johnstone in a 4-1 defeat to Rangers on February 27, 2018. His primary position on the field is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing good displays as a central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 15 shirt at St Johnstone.
Highlighted Team (Fleetwood):
Known for their attacking style of play, Fleetwood Town are a professional football club based in Fletwood, Lancashire. The Fishermen play their home matches at Highbury Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 5,327 (2,672 seated), with the team wearing red and white shirts in home matches.
On the other hand, Fleetwood footballers are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels. The original club was founded back in 1908 under the name of Fleetwood FC and 69 years later they were re-established as Fleetwood Town F.C. In 1998 the club was renamed to Fleetwood Wanderers after the second reformation.
Legendary England footballer Joey Barton is considered one of the club’s most notable coaches. Barton, who was known for his incidents on the field, has been in charge since June 2, 2018. Neighbouring club Blackpool are regarded as one of Fleetwood’s main rivals. The Fishermen have built up rivalries with Morecambe and Preston North End as well.
