Wigan Athletic, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Hull City will have left the Wigan Athletic squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Hull City, who had 11 shots on goal with 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Leam Richardson will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
A home win for Wigan Athletic is just a distant memory, having not won at DW Stadium in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Will Keane will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Wigan Athletic's last 6 league games.
Cardiff City, Recent FormCardiff City will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Blackburn Rovers. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Blackburn Rovers' tally of 5 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Sean Morrison will be hoping to create problems for Wigan Athletic in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Cardiff City.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.

Wigan have been unbeaten the last 4 times they have faced Cardiff in the league.
With only Jordan Cousins (Calf) and Gwion Edwards (Achilles tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Leam Richardson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Cardiff manager Mark Hudson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jamilu Collins (Cruciate ligament), Rubin Colwill (Knock) and Kion Etete (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
