Match Stats

Wigan:

Wigan go into this match following a 1-1 League One stalemate vs Barnsley.

The only player to score from Wigan Athletic was Jonny Smith (87'). Devante Cole (45') was the scorer for Barnsley.

Fewer than three goals per match were seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Wigan Athletic have been participants. With regard to the goal weighting from this period, their opponents scored a total of 7 and Wigan Athletic managed a tally of 5. We will see whether or not that trend can be continued on into this next match.


Man Utd:

TAfter suffering a loss in their previous game against Nottingham Forest in Premier League competition, Manchester United and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Manchester United managed 54% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. The scorer for Manchester United was Marcus Rashford (78'). Nottingham Forest got 8 shots on goal with 2 on target. Nicolás Domínguez (64') and Morgan Gibbs-White (82') scored for Nottingham Forest.

The attacking players from Manchester United have had real problems scoring goals over their previous six games, contributing the unsatisfactory return of only 4. In those matches, The Red Devils have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 10.


Analysis:

Although Man Utd have been struggling to showcase their best this season, they are the heavy favourite to win this game. So, anything but a victory in this game will be deemed as a very poor result for the visitors.

On the other hand, Wigan have endured a tough season so far this season as well so they might find it difficult to beat United. But, they will be at home and they should get something out of this game by taking home advantage as Ten Hag’s side struggle to perform well in a hostile environment.

Therefore, the Wigan fan could play a key role in helping their side play with extra-course and defeat the record Premier League champions. However, Man Utd have the firepower that could be too much for the hosts to handle so they might end up losing this game. But, it is going to be interesting to see how the game eventually unfolds on Monday night. Wigan 1-2 Man Utd
