Wigan Athletic vs Northampton Lineups & Team News
Wigan Athletic
Wigan Athletic’s impressive 1-2 victory over Derby County is what all League One fans are talking about these days. Paul Warne’s boys were expected to get the three points, but Charlie Wyke and his colleagues had other plans for this match. Wigan Athletic weren’t the better of the two teams on the pitch. On the contrary. Derby County were desperately hammering away, trying to slide it past Tickle. However, 20 shots at target resulted in only one goal at Pride Park.
Predicted lineup – Tickle (GK), Pearce, Morrison, Hughes, Clare, Smith, Aasgaard, Lang, Humprhys, McManaman & Wyke
Northampton
Getting outplayed at home is never a good sign at the start of the season. That’s exactly what happened on the 5th of August when Stevenage paid Northampton a visit at Sixfields Stadium. Sure, coach Brady’s boys had more possession, but Stevenage had twice as many shots at target, which is definitely a plus in favor of our Wigan vs Northampton prediction.
Predicted lineup – Burge (GK), Sherring, Guthrie, Monthe, Odimayo, Leonard, Sowerby, Brough, Pinnock, Hoskins & Simpson
Player to Watch: Charlie Wyke
After scoring a lovely brace for Wigan Athletic on the 5th of August, Charlie Wyke immediately became the player to watch in this Wigan vs Northampton prediction. His two goals proved decisive as Wigan snatched away all of the points at Pride Park, leaving coach Paul Warne and his troops in tears. Much-admired Rams didn’t know what hit them last week, as Charlie Wyke looked lethal in the penalty box. He’ll surely be at his very best on Saturday as well.
