Wigan Athletic Huddersfield Town betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely outcome for this meeting will be the triumph of Huddersfield. Although playing way from home, the visiting club has more and better arguments compared to the "enemy" of this round, and so it is very likely that can be higher throughout the game. On the other hand, and despite the support of their fans, we can guess that Wigan has no resources to sustain the quality of visitors.

The striker Will Grigg is the highlight of the Wigan with 5 goals and 2 assists. It must be observed that the home team added five consecutive defeats while playing in this condition. Apparently the coach just can't count on Perkins, Daniels, James, Morgan, Powell, Burke and Garbutt, players recovering from injury.
