Wigan Athletic vs Huddersfield Prediction 01.01.2025 | League One

• Competition: League One
• Date: 01.01.2025
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
• Venue: The Brick Community Stadium (Wigan)

Two clubs with rich histories are set to face off in the 24th round of League One.

Wigan finds themselves in a challenging position, sitting 16th in the table with 27 points. They have one of the least effective attacks in the league, but their solid defense has kept them at a safe distance from the relegation zone. After three strong performances, they suffered a defeat in the previous round, losing 2-1 away to Wrexham. The match was highly competitive, with Wigan generally being the better side. Following an equalizer from the visitors 10 minutes before the end, it seemed the teams would share the points. However, veteran Steven Fletcher ensured that wasn't the case, scoring in stoppage time to deliver a dramatic victory for the home fans.

On the other hand, Huddersfield continues their pursuit of the leading teams. They are unbeaten in their last eight league matches, though their 1-1 draw at home against Burton in the previous round can be seen as a missed opportunity. An early goal from the visitors appeared to shock the hosts, who struggled to break through their opponents' defensive block for most of the game. The second half was dominated by Huddersfield, who managed to equalize in the 88th minute, but there wasn’t enough time for a full comeback. With that draw, they remain in 4th place with 43 points.

Wigan vs Huddersfield pick: HUDDERSFIELD TO WIN AND COVER AH 0

Wigan has consistently struggled to get attacking production from their offensive players, and it remains to be seen whether this will improve as the season progresses. So far, they have mostly earned points thanks to their organized defense and goals from counterattacks. However, Huddersfield is a far too skilled and experienced side to allow their opponents to capitalize in such a manner.

The visitors are currently a much stronger team than Wigan, and they are expected to justify that superiority on the pitch.
