Wigan Athletic, Recent FormAn important point secured against Millwall will have left Wigan Athletic quite happy with their 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Millwall, who had 12 shots on goal with 6 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 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. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, Kolo Touré will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at DW Stadium, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games. They've struggled to find their feet at home this season, having won just 2 of their 11 league games at DW Stadium.
Sheffield United, Recent FormSheffield United enter this game with a comfortable 1-0 home win over Huddersfield Town last time out in the league. In that game they recorded 61 of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 4 shots on goal.
Manager Paul Heckingbottom will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 10 goals. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. They are proving to be a hard team to beat, having kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 3 straight wins in a row.
Goalscorer Oli McBurnie will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sheffield United.
