Prediction: 1-2
Gillingham
Wigan Athletic will be aiming to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Ipswich Town when they host Gillingham at their DW Stadium on Saturday. Wigan chiefs made a number of changes to the squad in the summer transfer window, and, as a result, the Latics are not seen as one of the main candidates for promotion. Since there will be no spectators at DW Stadium due to the fierce of coronavirus spread, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts.
The Gills, on the other hand, are eager to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Hull, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. Despite the defeat in the season opener, Gillingham are more of a team than Wigan Athletic, and we predict that they are going to pick up all three points from the match.
