Prediction: 1-0
Northampton
After surviving Barnsley at Oakwell, Wigan Athletic will look to keep on climbing the standings when they take on Northampton Town in a postponed League One game. The Latics have a chance to overtake Northampton in 16th place in the standings and we are positive they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday’s clash. Tyrese Francois is a major doubt and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, while Scott Smith should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Cobblers, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. Northampton aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, but given Wigan’s signs of improvement, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Matthew Ireland continues to miss out with injury for the visiting team, while Tom Eaves could sneak into the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a goalless draw with Cambridge United.
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).
