Prediction: 1-0
Fleetwood
Wigan Athletic welcome Fleetwood Town to their DW Stadium in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. The Latics are only three points clear of the relegation zone, but it has to be noted that they have been deducted eight points due to financial problems. Stephen Humphrys should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to convert a penalty in a 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Cod Army, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to Stevenage. Wigan Athletic, though, are more of a team than Fleetwood and given the Latics’ fine home record (5-0-3), we are tempted to put our money on Shaun Maloney’s troops. As for the away team, Xavier Simons limped off with injury in the last league fixture, with Josh Vela likely to step up.
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).
