Backing a draw

Wigan suffered a huge 5:1 loss at the hands of Burnley last weekend; they've mostly struggled for wins this season, having won just one of six games played so far. It's important to note that Wigan have played five league games, and three of them ended in draws. Like Wigan, West Bromwich Albion have not won too many games recently; they have one win, two draws and two losses in their last five matches. Again, like Wigan, West Bromwich Albion have drawn a lot of matches this season; they've played six games so far, with four of them ending level. Considering 60% of Wigan's league games, and 67% of West Brom's league games ended in stalemates, both teams should share the spoils.

Going under 2.5 goals

These teams usually don't score plenty of goals when they square off against each other; as all of their last five clashes saw less than three goals scored. Wigan have been one of the lowest scoring sides in the Championship this season, and because of that, their matches have mostly been low-scoring. It's worth noting that five of Wigan's last six games went below the 2.5 goal line. Taking all things into account, we shouldn't expect a lot of goals in this match.

Lacklustre sides to lock horns

Curtis Tilt returned from a hamstring injury for Wigan's clash with Burnley last weekend; that didn't help much however, as Wigan suffered a humiliating 5:1 defeat in that game. Other noteworthy absentees include Gwion Edwards, Ben Amos and Jordan Cousins.

Wigan Predicted lineup – James, Kerr, Watmough, Nyambe, Darikwa, Naylor, Power, Shinnie, McClean, Keane, Lang

With a healthy crop of players to choose from, Steve Bruce has no major injury concerns ahead of this fixture; Daryl Dike is the only player in the Baggies' recovery room, as he injured his thigh in matchday 1. Jed Wallace is the man to keep an eye out for in this match.

West Brom Predicted lineup – Button, Furlong, Ajayi, O'Shea, Townsend, Molumby, Yokuslu, Wallace, Swift, Diangana, Grant
