Huddersfield Town v Wigan
📅
Kick Off: Tuesday 3rd December at 20:00
🏆
Competition: League One
Huddersfield Town host Wigan Athletic on Tuesday night, with the home side fresh from a fixture-less weekend following their defeat in the first round of the FA Cup. Wigan played in the second round, winning at Cambridge after extra time, with a 119th minute winner from Jonny Smith.
Huddersfield currently sit 5th in League One, whilst Wigan are 9 points below in 15th place.
⭐ Huddersfield Town v Wigan Best Bets
Huddersfield have to be strong favourite for this one, even before taking into account the schedules of the two sides.
They have won 6 of their 8 home games in League One this season, including the last 4 in a row at The John Smith’s Stadium. Backing them to win and over 1.5 goals has landed in 5 of those 6 wins – you can back this by adding both above selections to your betslip at a current price of 2.03.
Wigan can be a tough nut to crack on the road, having held Stockport and Blackpool to draws, and beating Barnsley, but we think the extra workload of 120 minutes will see Huddersfield prevail here, potentially by a couple of goals.

👕 Huddersfield Town v Wigan Predicted XI
🔍 Huddersfield Town v Wigan Players to Watch
🔵 Ben Wiles
Box to box midfielder Ben Wiles is enjoying a strong season with the Terriers. He has racked up 5 goals and 3 assists in 16 League One appearances this season.
Wiles has taken 30 shots from 15 starts. From his last 5 games, his shot figures are 3-2-4-1-2. He is priced nicely to take 2+ in this game, where Huddersfield should be able to create plenty of chances.
⚫ Thelo Aasgaard
Thelo Aasgaard has been attracting interest from Championship clubs for sometime now. He has scored 5 goals this season, which is 33.33% of Wigan’s total tally.
His team do not create much for him, so he combats that by basically shooting on sight. He averages close to 3 shots per 90, and has taken 20 in his last 5 League One games.
We’ll play it safe and tip up 2+ shots at close to evens, but we wouldn’t put anyone off looking at a higher tally or even his generous goalscorer price, given he has scored in his last 3 games.

💻 Huddersfield Town v Wigan Form and Tactics
Mike Duff’s Terriers operate with three centre backs, with recent return of Polish defender Michal Helik a real boost to their promotion chances. Not only does Helik provide a commanding presence at the back, but he also scored 9 goals in the Championship last season.
They have a quality midfield three of Herbie Kane, Ben Wiles and David Kasumu. Kane provides the ball playing ability, Kasumu the energy and Wiles the goal threat.
Wigan are a side whose games are usually low margin. They have only conceded 13 goals, with only Wrexham conceding fewer, but they have only scored 15, with only 5 teams scoring fewer.
They like to line up with a 4-2-3-1. Will Aimson and Jason Kerr are the pillars of Atheltic’s defensive solidity. Dale Taylor and Thelo Aasgaard provide the creative threat.
