Wigan vs Cardiff Prediction

Wigan form

Showing inconsistent form, Wigan lost two of their past three matches, going down 0-1 against Reading, before beating Rotherham 0-2. The joy was short-lived, as Hull proved too strong in a 2-1 defeat. Wigan didn't manage a single win in any of their previous six Championship games at the DW Stadium. They have a record of four draws and two defeats, in which they conceded nine and scored four goals.

Few people had high hopes on behalf of Wigan before the season, but current form sees them punching above expectations.

Cardiff Form

In their past three matches, Cardiff lost 1-0 against Huddersfield, drew 1-1 with Burnley and won 1-0 against Blackburn. Cardiff managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Championship. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring nine time and letting in four.

Aiming for a mid-table finish Cardiff would require a quick upturn in form to even achieve even that.

Wigan, as well as Cardiff, have been keeping things tight in recent matches with goals few and far between. This suggests a close encounter shy on goals is on the cards this coming Saturday.
