Saturday’s League One clash between Huddersfield and Wigan at the John Smith Stadium promises to be an intriguing encounter. The visitors, Wigan, are favored to win, according to predictions, with a 45% chance of securing all three points.

The recent head-to-head results between these two teams have been closely contested, with Wigan edging ahead in their last meeting, a 2-1 win for the visitors in February of this year. However, Huddersfield have shown they can claim victory over Wigan, having secured a 1-0 win in December last year.

Given the projected win probabilities and expected goals, both teams are anticipated to be cautious in their approach. The home side has a low projected win probability of 10%, while the visitors are expected to score around two and a half goals.

A draw is also a strong possibility, given the close nature of their past meetings and the current form of both sides. This makes the double chance bet of a draw or a Wigan win an attractive proposition.

The bookmaker odds reflect the visitors as narrow favorites, but only just. This match has the makings of a low-scoring and tense affair with both sides aware of the importance of this fixture in their respective League One ambitions. Will Huddersfield be able to defy the predictions and claim a surprise win or will Wigan justify the favorites tag and take home the three points?
