Wigan Athletic - Stevenage predictions and free betting tips [27/01/2024]

On 27th January in League 1, the third highest division in England, "Stevenage" will play against "Wigan" at DW Stadium. Let's take a look at the team's condition and try to make a decision that will help increase our bankroll.

"Wigan"

Due to financial issues, the team lost 8 points, making it tough for "Wigan" to climb up the league table with such a handicap for the competitors. Currently, they are in 11th place.

In their 24th match, "Wigan" claimed a home victory against "Carlisle" (2:0). They then drew a match with "Barnsley" (1:1). In the next round, they tied with "Northampton" (1:1). After that, they claimed a narrow victory against "Reading", and finally, they managed to beat "Wycombe" in the last round (1:0).

"Stevenage"

After a decade, the team finally managed to get promoted to League 2. The guys secured the 2nd spot with a massive haul of 85 points. In the current season, the team has continued to delight its fans in the 3rd division. After 26 matches, "Stevenage" sits at 7th position with 46 points.

In the 22nd round, the team drew with "Charlton" (1:1). After this, they suffered a defeat against "Barnsley" (1:2). They then claimed a win against "Northampton" (3:0). In the next round, they lost to "Portsmouth" (1:2). In their latest game, they narrowly beat "Shrewsbury Town".

Head-to-Head

The last face-to-face match between "Stevenage" and "Wigan" was on 7th October 2023. That match ended with a narrow victory for "Stevenage".

Prediction

Both teams are roughly on par right now. However, I would propose a bet on the visitors' win. "Wigan" has been in good form in recent matches, but all their victories have been against weak opponents who are dwelling near the relegation zone. "Stevenage" may have lost away, but they had faced teams from the top-6. Therefore, it's quite probable they'll manage to grasp all three points this time.

Total Prediction

I believe the teams will not demonstrate high-scoring football, so I suggest a bet on TU (total under) 2.5.
