Our prediction for this League 1 match:
All eyes will be on DW Stadium when Wigan Athletic and Sunderland go head to head in the League One derby. The Latics came from behind to beat Wycombe 3-1 on Tuesday evening, with the team remaining in automatic promotion berth. Callum Lang is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace in the midweek triumph, while all Jordan Cousins, Thelo Aasgaard, Scott Smith, and Charlie Wyke remain on the sidelines.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Burton in their last league match. Sunderland are eager to stay in top six, and seeing that they will go for a win in Saturday’s derby as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. January signing Jermain Defoe should keep his place in the starting XI alongside Ryan Stewart, who scored a late equalizer against the Brewers.
