Wigan – Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth lineups.
Wigan
Wigan offered arguably their worst display of the season so far last weekend. They lost 1-4 away vs Bristol Rovers, but got lucky as the hosts could have easily scored 2-3 more goals.
The results haven’t been that bad in general but the points deduction means that they find themselves only just above the relegation zone right now.
Top goalscorer Wyke has 6 goals in 8 matches. Interestingly, all of those goals have been scored on the road and he is yet to score at home.
Don’t have any serious injury issues and all of the regulars are fit and available.
Predicted Lineup:
Tickle (GK), Clare, Hughes, Watts, Rekik, Adeeko, Smith, Humphrys, Lang, Aasgaard & Wyke
Portsmouth
Pompey edged Lincoln 2-1 at home last weekend and they remain undefeated in the league this season. The display was far from great but the hosts took their chances well and that’s why they won.
Despite going undefeated all season so far Portsmouth continue to struggle for goals and they already recorded four 0-0 draws this campaign.
The health of the squad is also severely compromised right now. The main left-back Ogilvie and the starting striker Saydee are doubtful with fresh injury problems. Pompey are already missing 4 regular starters for the long term, so this stretches the team a lot right now.
Predicted Lineup:
Norris (GK), Rafferty, Poole, Shaughnessy, Sparkes, Morrell, Pack, Lane, Robertson, Kamara & Bishop
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Marlon Pack
Portsmouth's key playmaker Marlon Pack has been one of the main reasons why Pompey have gone undefeated so far this season. Pack's ball distribution makes him a key contributor in attack. However, he is also a vital part of the defence. His ability to track down runners from deep and sniff out danger makes him a great asset to the back line.
Pack is the barometer of Pompey and he is our choice for a player to watch as if he plays well Portsmouth don't lose matches.
