Wigan Atheltic preview – Can the Latics give their fans one last reason to cheer before the season ends?
Wigan have had the hardest news a football club will face in the last few weeks. And where many teams would falter and fall behind.
The news of the administration and a possible points deduction has somewhat motivated Wigan more than any spectator could have imagined.
Since the restart, Wigan has lost once, won 5 and drawn 2. Among those wins was the superb 8-0 win against Hull City which really put an emphasis on the real feeling an emotion within the club despite their turmoil.
With 10 goals in their last 2 matches and Striker Kieran Dowell with 4 in 2. Wigan will really feel that they can display their firepower against Fulham on Wednesday night.
This does mean a great deal to Wigan who if the face this 12 point deduction, will fall from 58 points to 46. Which places them deep in the mix of the relegation zone. So a win on Wednesday night is almost paramount in their quest to stay in the Championship.
Fulham preview – Can Fulham pile on the pressure on the clubs above and gain automatic promotion?
Fulham is within of touching distance of the Premier League just one year after being relegated from the top tier of English Football.
Although they need favours from both QPR and Barnsley to gain automatic promotion. They won’t let that stop them from gaining three points in this tie.

Their recent form would suggest a positive result; unbeaten in 6 (5 wins and a draw) is almost the perfect response that manager Scott Parker could’ve asked for after consecutive losses to promotion rival Leeds and Brentford.
Behind maverick and league top scorer Mitrovic who has 26 for the season. Fulham who has been in quite a free-flowing attack this season with 63 goals will be asking plenty of questions come Wednesday evening.
Defensively, Fulham has kept 4 clean sheets in their last 5. In fact, before the 5-3 win against Sheffield Wednesday, they had kept 4 consecutive clean sheets in a row.
Defenders Hector and Tim Ream have been stellar this season and their defensive record (4th best) is an indication of how well Fulham have been able to perform this season.

With a lot at stake for both teams, the front foot must be used from the outset if either side wants to get their desired results.
Key Facts – Torino vs Hellas Verona Betting Tip
- Mitrovic has 26 goals this season
- Wigan have scored 10 goals in 2 matches
- Fulham have kept 4 clean sheets in last 5 games
In the opposite fixture, Fulham were comfortable 2-0 winners. A scoreline that could easily be repeated, if not for the extra motivation that has cultivated this wigan side and enforced them to play the best football of their season so far.
Wigan will look to give this game their all. For themselves and most importantly for their fans who are the most uncertain of where their beloved club’s future resides.
Expect to see a game fuelled with passionate intensity and a few yellow cards. The game will do its best to see a winner but it won’t be a surprise to see both sides end in a stalemate.
