Huddersfield to lose again
We asked the question of whether or not Huddersfield can win this game in the opening paragraph and whilst, of course, the could – they won't. The Terriers have only managed one win all season and are currently on a run of four games without a win having lost three and drawn one. What's worse for them is that their home form is a shocker too; they've lost three of five on their own patch. Wigan meanwhile might not have made the best start to a season but have only lost one of their last five and, more notably, they have won each of their last two away games. They also won on their last trio to Huddersfield.
Both sides will score
Our next tip for this match is that it will end with both teams having notched goals. Huddersfield despite their poor form, have been finding the net without too much issue and have seen three of their last five games end with goals at both ends. In a similar vein, Wigan have seen fairly end to end games as well; each of their last three matches – and four of their past five – have ended with both teams scoring. As for the head to head record, that sits as a 50/50 record for both teams scoring when looking across the last four meetings.

Can Terriers grab a rare win?
Once Coventry have played their games in hand, there is a very real chance that Huddersfield will end up bottom of the Championship standings. Wigan meanwhile could easily get sucked towards that bottom three with a couple of losses. With all that considered, there is plenty of motivation to go and get three pints for both teams today.
Huddersfield will be getting a little bit twitchy about their start to the season soon with the '10 game' mark fast approaching. The good news for the Terriers is that Luke Mbete could return from his injury lay off to make his debut for the club; he's missed the last three games after picking up a niggle in Man City's friendly with Barcelona.
Huddersfield Predicted lineup – Nicholls, Les, Hogg, Mbete, Hayden, Rudoni, Nakayama, Russell, Anjorin, Ward, Thomas
Wigan's start to the new season has been solid if unspectacular given they're a newly promoted side. Tendayi Darikwa, who has been heavily involved for the Latics prior to his injury, could be back here but Gwion Edwards remain out.
Wigan Predicted lineup – Amos, Whatmough, Kerr, Tilt, Nyambe, McLean, Power, Naylor, Lang, Magennis, Keane
