Huddersfield v Wigan

Huddersfield vs Wigan Preview

Huddersfield Town will be keen to extend their unbeaten run in the English third tier to an impressive eight games on Tuesday night when The Terriers play host to Wigan Athletic at their John Smith's Stadium which in turn has helped lift the hosts up into fifth place in the League One table.

Wigan Athletic will head into this midweek clash on the back of two wins on the trot in League One having registered important wins against Barnsley and Northampton Town respectively which will give The Latics a welcome boost ahead of this upcoming trip to the John Smiths Stadium.

Huddersfield Town had previously stumbled to four defeats on the trot from towards the end of September through to early October which saw the Yorkshire hosts suffer losses at the hands of Northampton Town, Blackpool, Reading and Birmingham City respectively.

However, The Terriers have managed to stage an impressive recovery which has culminated in putting together a seven-game unbeaten sequence in League One which includes collecting five wins during this period; victories against Barnsley, Bristol Rovers, Exeter City and Charlton Athletic have been registered on home soil at the John Smiths Stadium.

Wigan Athletic will make their way to the John Smiths Stadium no doubt looking to make it three league wins on the trot on Tuesday night as the visitors look to lift themselves further up the League One table.

Recent back-to-back wins in the English third tier will give the Lancashire visitors a welcome boost as they prepare to undo Huddersfield Town's recent solid work but this may be easier said than done as The Latics have managed to collect just three wins from their last 11 matches overall.

An earlier 3-0 home win against Peterborough United along with the back-to-back wins have been offset by slipping to defeats at the hands of Cambridge United, Mansfield Town and Wycombe Wanderers respectively.

Results overall though for Shaun Maloney and his Wigan Athletic side have been generally inconsistent as their overall record in League One testifies; five wins, five draws and six defeats suggest this upcoming trip to face high-flying Huddersfield Town may just be a bridge too far for The Latics in this encounter.

Results away from home have also been fairly disappointing from Wigan Athletic's point of view as the visitors have managed to capture just four wins from their last 14 outings on the road whilst also being handed six defeats within this period as well.

Huddersfield Town v Wigan Athletic Verdict
