Prediction: 1-1
Mansfield
Tuesday’s football game at the Brick Community Stadium pits together Wigan Athletic and Mansfield Town, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Latics aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Cambridge United and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Mansfield. Jensen Weir limped off with injury in the last league fixture, with fellow midfielder Thelo Aasgaard likely to step up.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Stevenage. Mansfield Town are eyeing their fourth away win of the process, but seeing that Wigan are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to bet on draw. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, fit-again defender Frazer Blake-Tracy is pushing for a recall to the starting eleven. Nigel Clough should stick to the 3-4-1-2 formation.
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).
