Wednesday night sees two sides out of form clash at the Brick Community Stadium as Wigan Athletic host Luton Town in a key game for both teams. The Latics have found goals and points hard to come by at home this season, leading to manager Ryan Lowe being sacked recently. The Hatters have picked up at home under Jack Wilshere, but have lost all their last five away. Our prediction for the match is below.

The current league table doesn't make great reading for Wigan fans. The Latics lie 22nd in the table with 31 points from 30 games played, two points from safety. Luton find themselves four points outside the playoff places on 45 points from 31 games played currently lying in eighth spot.

What is notable about both these teams is their respective home and away form. Wigan have not won in eight games and have lost four of their last five games at home. That run includes four straigh defeats - 2-0 at Wycombe Wanderers, 1-0 at home to Lincoln, 6-1 away to Peterborough and most recently 2-1 at home to Reading.

Luton though have lost all their last five games away from home. That includes two back to back 1-0 defeats at Plymouth and Huddersfield, which was followed by two home wins 1-0 over Blackpool and 2-1 over Bradford but at the weekend, the Hatters went down 3-1 away to Cardiff City,

Our Wigan vs Luton Town Prediction

Our prediction for the Wigan Athletic vs. Luton Town League One match is: Under 2.5 Goals.

The form for both these teams heading into this game makes awful reading, Wigan have lost six of their last seven, including four of their last five at home. Luton have lost all their last five away. However, the data shows Wigan score less than a goal a game at home, and concede fewer than a goal a game too. Both teams tend to be involved in low-scoring contests, hence the Under 2.5 Goals option being the one to back.

Prediction :

 

Less than 2.5 goals
