Wigan Athletic vs Preston -After winning the League One, the third tier of English football, last season, Wigan was guaranteed a promotion to the Championship.
Preston, however, had to be content with a very disappointing mid-table finish in the Championship despite their ongoing struggles to find their form away from home.
They have actually been having trouble on the road for the previous few months and have been allowing a tonne of goals in the process.
They frequently went on losing streaks during this time, and it is unlikely that they will be able to overcome this vulnerability very soon.
The previous season in the Championship, they were forced to settle for a 13th-place finish in a table of 24 teams, as they failed to win 30 of their total 46 games.
Wigan, however, had won League One’s championship the year before. They had only lost eight games over this time period, and they had handily outscored all other clubs in the competition in terms of goals scored.
However, it should be noted that they experienced a lack of form near the close of the season, and at one time it even appeared questionable if they would be able to qualify even for the playoffs.
However, they were able to maintain their slim lead at the top because to the dominance they had displayed earlier in the season.
Wigan Athletic vs Preston – Betting Analysis
Wigan’s previous five games have included three or more goals, and they have only kept four clean sheets in their last 13 games.
On the other side, Preston had lost 4 of their previous 5 road trips and had gone winless in 9 of their previous 14 official total games.
These observations suggest that this weekend’s game between the two sides will include plenty of goals.
Based on the fact that goals have frequently been scored whenever these two clubs have faced off in the past, it is anticipated that this weekend’s matchup will be high-scoring.
