Derby County vs Wigan Athletic Lineups & Team News
Derby County
As mentioned earlier in our Derby County vs Wigan Athletic predictions, the Rams had a defense to be proud of in 2022/23. With barely 46 goals conceded throughout 46 league fixtures, Derby County’s defense was even sturdier than top-of-the-table Pilgrims. Plymouth Argyle conceded 47.
Predicted lineup – Wildsmith (GK), Cashin, Davis, Forsyth, Hourihane, Bird, Knight, Roberts, Sibley, Mendez-Laing & McGoldrick
Wigan Athletic
Wigan Athletic have an extremely important EFL Cup game versus Wrexham in a couple of days, so perhaps this might give our Derby County vs Wigan Athletic prediction the edge on Saturday. Wrexham transformed overnight into one hell of an opponent, so Wigan Athletic’s manager will surely have to spare some of his key players on Saturday.
Predicted lineup – Tickle (GK), Hughes, Caulker, Rekik, McClean, Whatmough, Tiehi, Pearce, Lang, Aasgaard & Scully
Player to Watch: Joe Wildsmith
The key reason the Rams did as well as they did during 2022/23 is because of Joe Wildsmith’s world-class goalkeeping. The 27-year-old won plenty of clean sheets that proved decisive as Derby County’s backline grew stronger and stronger. Even almighty Plymouth Argyle couldn’t measure up to the Rams’ defensive standards.
We believe that Joe Wildsmith will be among the starters on Saturday, giving our Derby County vs Wigan Athletic predictions a fighting chance. After all, Wigan don’t have too many decent goalscorers to get the better of Wildsmith.
