Wigan Athletic vs Stevenage Predictions

Wigan Athletic did not start the season well, but shocked the entire league with a thrashing of Bristol Rovers recently, and are now unbeaten in their last two games. Stevenage have been quite the yoyo team so far, as they travel to The Brick Community Stadium.

Key Stats

• Wigan Athletic are unbeaten in their last two games
• Stevenage have three losses and one draw in their four away games this season
• Wigan and Stevenage have the same points (7) after their opening six games

Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Both of the teams have had mediocre starts to the new season. In fact, they have exactly the same amount of points, with two wins, one draw and three losses.

Wigan Athletic Preview

Predicted Line-up: Samuel Lloyd Tickle; Luke Chambers, Will Aimson, Jason Kerr, James Carragher; Matt Smith; Silko Thomas, Thelo Aasgaard, Jensen Weir, Dion Rankine; Joe Hugill.

Wigan Athletic are now unbeaten in their last two games. With a goalless draw away at Lincoln last time out, and a 4-0 thrashing on the road to Bristol Rovers the match before.

The only time Wigan have managed a victory in 2024/25 is when they were at home to Crawley Town (1-0).

The stand out man for Wigan Athletic at the moment is arguably forward Joe Hugill. The 20-year-old scored two in the win over Bristol Rovers and has three in all competitions.

Stevenage Preview

Predicted Line-up: Murphy Joseph Cooper; Lewis Freestone, Carl Piergianni, Charlie Goode, Luther Wildin; Harvey White, Eli King, Nick Freeman; Jordan Roberts; Elliott List, Jamie Reid.

It was always going to be a tough first full season without Steve Evans in charge of Stevenage. And they’ll do well to stay in League One this season as they get through that transition.

Much like Wigan, they have also been a yoyo team so far. They showed great quality in their 3-0 win over Barnsley at home a week ago. And also in their opening day victory over Shrewsbury Town. However, a loss at home to Exeter City last time out showed their frailties.

When it comes to standout players, Elliott List has three goals in League One so far.

Head-to-Head Stats: Wigan Athletic vs Stevenage

Strangely, these two sides have only played each other twice in their entire history, which both came last season. Stevenage did the double in those games, earning a valuable six points.
