Wigan – Huddersfield

Match analysis

Wigan host Huddersfield in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the Terriers perched second on 12 points after an unbeaten run of six games (three wins and three draws) and a solid +6 goal difference, while the home side languish in 23rd place with just four points from six matches, having managed only one win and one draw and conceding more than double the goals they have scored. The disparity in recent results suggests Huddersfield will enter the fixture as clear favourites, looking to extend their flawless defensive record, whereas Wigan will be desperate to pick up points and stave off the relegation threat that looms over the bottom of the table.
