Tranmere vs Wigan Prediction 14.11.2023

• Competition: EFL Trophy
• Date: 14.11.2023
• Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
• Venue: Prenton Park (Birkenhead)

Tranmere is a member of English League Two, which is not doing very well this season. With 13 points in 17 matches played, they are on the edge of the danger zone and in the last round they beat Forest Green after 4 consecutive defeats. Somehow, cup competitions are completely trivial for this club at the moment because League Two and survival are much more important. In the 2 matches played in the EFL Cup, Tranmere lost against Fleetwood and Leicester U21, which is certainly a painful defeat that happened against the youth team. By all accounts, this will be a very difficult season for Tranmere.

A former member of the Premier League, Wigan now plays in League One and is facing a very difficult season ahead, because at the very beginning they were punished by the FA's decision with 8 minus points due to financial problems. Despite that, they managed to stay above the danger zone with 18 points. They have 2 points more than Fleetwood and have been in good form lately, so there is a very solid possibility that they will keep their status in League Two this season.

Tranmere vs Wigan pick: WIGAN TO WIN

In some previous years when these two teams played in the same division, there was not too much success for Tranmere. They beat Wigan only once in 8 matches played. Wigan is a much better team in the last couple of seasons,especially this one, current and that is clear. The only question could be their motivation in this competition, but with 1 win and 1 draw, they still haven't secured the next stage of the competition, so it's important to take 3 points in this match. Wigan have lost just once in last 8 games played and their form is raising. We expect Blue and white to win and qualify for the next round.
