Wigan Athletic, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Wigan Athletic players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Coventry City. During that encounter they recorded 45% of the possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 0 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 2 of their 14 shots on goal.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 4 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 12 goals in the same period. Finding the net at home is becoming a problem for them, having been unable to score in 3 of their last 6 matches. Leam Richardson will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
A recent poor run of home form for The Latics in the league has seen them lose 3 games in a row at DW Stadium.
Blackpool, Recent FormMichael Appleton will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 home thrashing at the hands of Middlesbrough. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Middlesbrough's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Appleton will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. The art of scoring goals has eluded them, having failed to find the back of the net for the past 3 games in a row. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
Jerry Yates will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Wigan Athletic in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Blackpool.
A defeat for Wigan Athletic in their last match against Blackpool was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 5 goals.
The stats show that in the last 4 meetings between Wigan and their rivals, The Seasiders, the former have conceded at least one goal. Ahead of this match, Wigan won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in any of their last 3 meetings against The Seasiders. Blackpool have a good attacking record away to The Latics in the league, having scored a total of 8 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.67 goals per game.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Blackpool has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Wigan in 3 games.
Wigan manager Leam Richardson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ben Amos (Broken rib), Ryan Nyambe (Knee) and Tom Pearce (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Blackpool manager Michael Appleton has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Keshi Anderson (Hamstring), Jake Beesley (Broken ankle), Liam Bridcutt (Groin), Lewis Fiorini (Hamstring), Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel (Knee), Kevin Stewart (Broken foot), Jordan Thorniley (Concussion) and Rhys Williams (Illness) are all currently out of contention for this game.
