Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following an amazing 5-5 draw with Cheltenham, Wycombe will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they host Wigan to their Adams Park on Matchday 35. The Chairboys have drawn each of their last three league fixtures, with the team eyeing their first win since January 15. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be experienced attacker Sam Vokes, who scored a brace at the weekend, while Josh Scowen is back after serving his ban in the last league match.
The Latics, on the other hand, aim to stay in automatic promotion berth. Since MK Dons are breathing down their neck, we are positive that the visitors will adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday’s clash. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Jordan Cousins, Thelo Aasgaard, and Scott Smith are out of contention for the visiting team, as well as Charlie Wyke.
Highlighted Player (Jason McCarthy):
Jason McCarthy is a product of the famous Southampton youth academy. McCarthy started his youth career in his hometown club back in 2002 and he made his senior debut with the Saints in the Premier League on December 26, 2014, coming as a substitute for Nathaniel Clyne in a 3-1 away victory at Crystal Palace.
After spending a couple of seasons on loan at Wycombe Wanderers and Walsall, the English defender signed a three-year deal with Barnsley in the summer of 2017 for an undisclosed fee. Jason McCarthy was struggling to secure a first-team football at the Oakwell stadium outfit and, as a result, he returned to Wycombe Wanderers on August 9, 2018, penning a three-year contract with the League One side.
His preferred foot is right, his main position centre-back, but he is used as a right-back as well. Jason McCarthy was born in Southampton on November 7, 1995.
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).
