by Ian John in League One Predictions
Our next match prediction takes in an intriguing League One contest between Wigan Athletic and Cardiff City. Ryan Lowe's Latics have been dogged by inconsistency across their nine games so far this season.
In contrast, the Bluebirds of Cardiff, managed by Brian Barry-Murphy, had started very well, but have picked up just one point in the last six. So what will be our top tip for this intriguing contest?
After nine matches, Wigan Athletic tie midway in the League One table, 12th. They have won three, drawn three and lost three games. Scoring goals hasn't been an issue with 14 netted, but 13 conceded has been a key problem. Cardiff were top of the table but failing to win their last two has seen them drop to fourth with 17 points from eight games.
Wigan's last home league game saw them land a 3-0 win over Doncaster Rovers. They followed that with a sobering 4-1 defeat away to Bolton Wanderers last weekend however. In midweek, they faced Wycombe in the Football League Cup and were beaten 2-0 at home by the Chairboys.
Cardiff's last away league game saw a 1-1 draw at Stockport, and then last weekend, they were beaten 3-1 at home by Bradford City. They bounced back superbly in the EFL Cup, however, in midweek, beating Premier League Burnley 2-1 away from home for a morale-boosting victory.

Our Wigan vs Cardiff Prediction
Our prediction for Wigan Athletic vs. Cardiff City League One match is: Half Time: Wigan/ Full Time: Draw
Both these teams come into this game searching for something. Wigan have drawn three of their last five matches and tend to score early in games. Cardiff have not won any of their last two games and the majority of their goals come in the second half. As such, the rare HT/FT - Home/Draw bet is one well-supported in the data and has great value odds too.
