Burnley vs Wigan – Burnley enters this match with momentum after playing Blackpool to a scoreless stalemate in the Championship earlier this week.
During that match, Burnley had 78% of the possession, and five of their thirteen shots were directed toward the goal. At the other end of the field, Blackpool had six shots on goal, but none of them were successful in scoring a goal.
Their more recent results highlight the reality that the Burnley defense deserves a lot of respect. Burnley has played defensively, as evidenced by the fact that only two goals have gotten past their goalie in their last six games.
According to their prior performances, Burnley hasn’t suffered a division defeat to Wigan Athletic in any of their last three contests. In their prior 18 home league games, they had not lost. A fantastic performance.
Wigan and their traveling supporters will be hoping for a better outcome in this one after enduring a defeat in their previous Championship matchup against West Bromwich Albion.
In that game, Wigan Athletic achieved 45% possession and 11 shots at goal with 4 on target. West Bromwich Albion, their opponents, made 17 efforts at goal with 4 of them being successful. West Bromwich Albion struck through Daryl Dike (27′).
Wigan’s recent six games have shown that they have struggled to score goals, adding the disappointing return of only 4. The Latics have also witnessed their opponents score a total of five goals against them in those games.
The continuation of that tendency in this game will be examined. Wigan Athletic has played 12 league games without an away victory coming into this encounter. Definitely very bad.

With an injury-free squad open for selection, Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has absolutely no concerns about his players’ fitness going into this match.
