Wigan Athletic, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Sunderland will not have sat easily with the Wigan Athletic squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with a possession stat of 40% and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Sunderland, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. 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.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Wigan camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough will not be too troubled by their 2-1 home defeat against Blackburn Rovers, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They achieved 59% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Blackburn Rovers' tally of 10 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Leo Percovich will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
Chuba Akpom will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Middlesbrough.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
In their past 5 meetings, Middlesboro's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Latics will have to take their chances when they come. Middlesboro have managed to keep a clean sheet against Wigan in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. Playing away from home, Middlesboro have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Wigan.
Wigan at home have had a poor run of results against Middlesboro, drawing their last 4 and having not won any of their last 5 league encounters at DW Stadium.
There is only really one injury concern for the Wigan manager Leam Richardson ahead of this clash, with Gwion Edwards (Achilles tendon) missing out, which gives Richardson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Without any real injury worries ahead of this clash, Middlesboro manager Leo Percovich will be happy to have a full squad to pick from to help execute his game plan.
