Wigan – Peterborough preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Wigan vs Peterborough lineups.
Wigan
Wigan’s confidence is back after achieving 4 similar 2-0 wins in their last 5 games. The last of those was on Saturday when Atheltic beat Exeter 2-0 in the FA Cup. Used mostly their first team in this match.
Wigan also won 3 of their last 4 league matches with the same 2-0 scoreline but last time around they lost 2-3 vs Charlton. Reacted well to falling 0-3 down in the first half but the damage was too much to overcome.
Matthe Smith is an important inner midfielder who continues to be unavailable due to a knee issue. Also, the hurt on Saturday defender Clare looks likely to be absent now. In better news, all of Sessegnon, J. Smith and S. Smith have recovered from injuries and will be options again.
Predicted Lineup:
Tickle (GK), Rekik, Hughes, Watts, Morrison, Adeeko, S. Smith, Sessegnon, Humphrys, Godo & Jones
Peterborough
Peterborough are undefeated in their last 9 league games (W5 D4). Last time around they beat Blackpool 4-2 away from home. Played well but the game was decided by an early red card for the hosts.
On Saturday Posh drew 2-2 at home vs Salford in the FA Cup. Used many reserve players in that match so this explains the slightly shaky display.
Last season’s League One top goalscorer Clarke-Harris confirmed that he will be leaving Peterborough in January. Since that happened Clarke-Harris has been left on the bench in 3 consecutive matches. The same could happen again now with youngster Jones trusted to lead the attack from the off right now.
Posh are pretty much at full strength with only 2 fringe players missing due to injuries.
Predicted Lineup:
Bilokapic (GK), Kioso, Edwards, Knight, Burrows, Collins, Kyprianou, Poku, Randall, Mason-Clark & Jones
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Ephron Mason-Clark
Peterborough’s newly appointed captain Ephron Mason-Clark got inspired by his new responsibilities and he has been the team’s best player in recent weeks. Mason-Clark had just 1 goal in the first 11 rounds but he scored in all of the last 3 league matches and also provided 2 assists in these 3 matches.
Red-hot and full of confidence after becoming the team’s captain only age 24 Mason-Clark is a player to watch out for right now.
