Wigan to win the game

The home games have been very tricky for the opposition to handle, as the DW Stadium has provided four wins in the five matches. Sheffield Wednesday come into this match with the just one away win so far. It will be difficult to expect Sheffield Wednesday to take anything out of the game especially with Wigan on excellent form.
Total goals under 2.5
Wigan might be leading the table but they have done so by being prudent and efficient. The team has not scored over 2.5 goals in any of the home games so far this season. Sheffield Wednesday are also not being rich in terms of goals away from home.
Goals from both teams – no
Sheffield Wednesday have failed to score in three out of the last five away games. They are up against a Wigan outfit who have kept clean sheets at home in a similar time frame. As the basis of Wigan has been a strong defence, it will be difficult to witness both teams scoring in this game.
