Derby County vs Wigan Athletic Prediction

Derby vs Wigan prediction comes before England’s Championship 13th round match between these two. This game will be played on October 23rd, at Pride Park in Derby, England. In this match preview, I will try to provide the best betting tips and correct score predictions based on my analysis of these two teams. Derby is being listed as a solid favorite to win this match at their home field.

Derby vs Wigan Betting Tips

They have played a lot of matches in their Head-to-Head history. Both teams got some wins, so we can’t really say that any of these teams ‘own’ this rivalry. In their last 20 games, Derby has 7 wins, while Wigan won 6 times. That stat tells us enough about their similarity. Currently, Derby is in the 15th position with 15 points from 12 games played.

On the other side, Wigan is having a big problem with their goal-scoring, as they have only 10 goals this season. If we consider that they have played 12 games, that is just under one goal scored per game, which is unacceptable at this level of play. An interesting fact is that Derby has won 4 out of their last 5 Head-to-Head duels. That one game they didn’t win has finished in a tie, so they are unbeaten in 5 consecutive meetings. Wigan will try to stop that, as they need some points. By looking at all of this, Derby is much closer to the victory. Their home field, home supporters and a solid, recent tradition is on their side, so I will back them up for this game. Derby wins.

Derby is having a good run in their last 6 games, as they have only one loss in that period. That loss came against Charlton in the last round, where they were easily defeated 3:0 as an away side. They have some problems with injuries. Anya, Keogh, and Marriott will not play in this game. On the other side, Evans and Huddlestone are marked as questionable. An interesting fact is that Derby has the most draws in the league with 6 already. If we consider the way Wigan is playing as a guest, Derby has to win this game.

Wigan Latest Team News

They are still without a win on the road in this campaign, as they have 1 draw and 5 big losses, which was enough for only one single point. Another interesting point is that Wigan hasn’t kept a clean sheet away from their home in this calendar year. All of that combined indicates that we have to agree with the fact, that the bookmakers have listed Derby as a favorite in this match. In their squad, only Tom Pearce is questionable with a minor injury.

Derby vs Wigan Correct Score Prediction

This will be their first competitive match in their Head-to-Head duels this season. Therefore, I had to focus on some other factors when I was crafting my selection. I looked at their recent performances and their styles of play. From this point of view, I can see this one ending with a home win. Derby’s pretty good home form combined with a disastrous away form from Wigan, tells us enough.
