Wigan
In their last outing, Wigan secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Bolton. The team has been in solid form, winning four of their last five matches across all competitions. Wigan's attacking prowess has been evident, with the team scoring in each of their last six games. Currently, they sit comfortably in the upper half of the League One table and are aiming to make a deep run in the League Cup.
- Wigan has not lost in regular time in 5 of their last 6 home matches (4 wins, 1 draw).
- The team has scored at least two goals in 4 of their last 5 home games.
- Wigan has kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 5 League Cup matches at home.
Wycombe
Wycombe enters this fixture following a 0-1 defeat to Rotherham in their previous match. The team has struggled for consistency, with only one win in their last five outings. Despite this, Wycombe remains a resilient side, particularly in cup competitions, and will be looking to upset Wigan on their home turf. The team is currently mid-table in League One and hopes to use this cup tie as a springboard for better performances.
- Wycombe has not won in regular time in their last 4 away matches (1 draw, 3 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 4 of Wycombe's last 6 away games.
- Wycombe has failed to score in 3 of their last 5 away matches.
Wigan vs. Wycombe: Match Prediction
Wigan has shown strong form at home, making them favorites for this tie. Their attacking lineup has been effective, and they have a solid defensive record in cup matches. Wycombe, on the other hand, has been inconsistent on the road and may struggle to break down Wigan's defense. Given the current form and home advantage, Wigan is likely to edge this encounter.
Considering all factors, my prediction: Wigan to win
