Wigan Athletic v Huddersfield Town: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Wigan Athletic will look to snap a six-match winless streak when they host promotion-chasing Huddersfield Town in League One on Tuesday night.

The Latics are nervously looking over their shoulder at the bottom three after failing to win any of their last five league games, while the Terriers are still in the hunt for the automatic promotion places.

Huddersfield are fifth, nine points behind second-placed Wycombe Wanderers, and they will view Tuesday's game as a huge opportunity to gain some ground on their rivals.

Wigan Athletic v Huddersfield Town betting tips and predictions

Huddersfield Town to win - 31/20

While Wigan's recent form won't instil confidence in any of their fans, they have at least drawn back-to-back games to move further away from the relegation zone.

The Latics are only four points above 21st-placed Burton Albion, but their goalless draw against Wycombe Wanderers last time out proves they can compete with the best teams in the division.

However, Shaun Maloney's side have been unable to establish themselves at the Brick Community Stadium and they boast the second-worst home record in League One, winning just four of their 15 matches and collecting a mere 16 points.

While Huddersfield lost 1-0 to Peterborough United at home on Saturday, they have the fourth-best away record in the English third tier, winning eight of their 15 games.

Michael Duff's team have lost only four times on the road, a record bettered only by Wycombe and Birmingham City, and they can use that strong away form to come out on top here.

Half-time result - Draw - 10/11

Wigan have held Wycombe, Crawley Town and Lincoln City to draws this month and they will look to keep things tight from the off against Huddersfield.

Maloney's troops have started the majority of their games well this season and they are ninth in the first-half stats standings, having been leading 11 times and drawing on 12 occasions at half-time in League One.

Wigan have also been ahead 11 times and drawing 12 times at the break in the league this season, so expected this one to be tight at the interval.

Under 2.5 goals - 8/15

Scoring opportunities could be at a premium at The Brick Community Stadium and backing there to be fewer than three goals looks like the way to go, as this bet has landed in Wigan's last six league games and in five of Huddersfield's last seven fixtures.

Since Huddersfield's 4-0 win over Cambridge United in December, none of their last 12 games have been decided by more than a single goal.

The Terriers won the first meeting between the two clubs in December 1-0, the second consecutive meeting that result has been produced.
