Prediction: 1-2
Oxford United
Following a 2-0 win over Exeter, Wigan Athletic will look to escape the relegation zone when they take on Oxford United on Tuesday evening. The weekend triumph gave them a confidence boost, but fans are hungry for more success and we are positive that the home side will fight tooth and nail against the Yellows. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the midweek fixture.
Oxford United, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive away win in the League One and a triumph over Wigan could see them overtake Portsmouth in top position. Oxford United are more of a team than Wigan Athletic and seeing that the Latics have already suffered two defeats at home this term, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. Wales international Fin Stevens is widely expected to return to Oxford’s starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Josh McEachran):
Josh McEachran is a professional football player who was born on 1 March, 1993. The English footballer plays as central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both attacking and defensive midfielder as well. McEachran is a product of Chelsea youth school, but he made no more than 11 appearances for the senior squad at Stamford Bridge.
After spending several seasons on loan at Swansea city, Middlesbrough, Watford, Wigan and Vitesse, he signed a four-year deal with Brentford on 10 July 2015 for an undisclosed fee. Just 15 days later he suffered a fractured foot and, as a result, he was out of contention for three months. McEachran made his Brentford debut on 15 December in a 2-1 win over Reading and he went on to make 14 appearances for the Bees in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign.
Josh was born in Kirtlington, Oxfordshire, England, but his parents are Scottish. The Brentford midfielder was in a relationship with English actress Brooke Vincent.
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).
