Match Preview
Two of the Championship’s unlikely leaders look to solidify their top-seven places as Wigan (W4, D1, L3) host Bristol City (W4, D2, L2) in totally opposing circumstances to their last meeting. |
Newly promoted Wigan trail Bristol City by just one point and two places. They are amid a run of eleven home league games without defeat (W7, D4), including a 2-1 success over Hull midweek which marked three wins and a draw at home his season. |
Seemingly punching above their weight also, Bristol City succumbed to a 4-2 away defeat to West Brom last time out, ending a run of four games without defeat with three clean sheets to boot. |
However, despite Bristol’s away record being just three points shy of Wigan’s home haul (ten), these teams could be as evenly matched as their 24 accumulative goals (for/against) from eight games would suggest. |
With the H2H edge from 24 previous encounters, Bristol City lead the way (W12, D7, L5) and did the double over Wigan in 2016/17. |
Players to watch: Will Grigg (WIG) has three goals from seven games but hasn’t scored against Bristol in five appearances (W2, D1, L2). |
Andreas Weimann hasn’t scored in three but with five goals this season (two from headers) as a converted centre-forward, he has already matched last season’s haul. |
Stat attack: Wigan have scored first in four of their last five home matches. |
The last H2H game saw both teams battling against relegation in a game with 23 fouls, 17 corners and three yellow cards. |
With eight away goals scored, Bristol City’s last four away days have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals. |
With no wins in three career games against his opposing manager (D2, L1), Lee Johnson has met Paul Cook with Oldham and Barnsley. Cook is looking down the barrel of a third consecutive career loss to Bristol City. |
