Sheffield Wednesday vs Wigan Athletic prediction, odds and how to watch

Wigan Athletic ended a five-match losing run in emphatic fashion, beating Milton Keynes Dons 3-1 at home in League One thanks to a brace from Jensen Weir and a goal from Max Power.

Wolves were the better-organised side throughout, and a second-minute own goal followed by a header on the stroke of half-time gave them a cushion they never needed to surrender. The stats behind the result tell a clear story about structure and preparation.

Sheffield Wednesday arrive at Hillsborough having scored eleven goals in four League One matches, but their inability to keep a clean sheet leaves the door open for an unpredictable afternoon against Cambridge United.

Wigan Athletic have won just once in their last five League One matches and face a Mansfield Town side who have taken five wins from their last ten. Saturday at the DW Stadium is a game Wigan simply cannot afford to lose.

Stevenage have not won in five League One matches and have kept zero clean sheets in that run. Sheffield Wednesday arrive at the Lamex Stadium with goals in their legs and a point to prove.

Two struggling sides collide at the King Power on Saturday as Leicester's inability to win at home runs into a Wigan Athletic side that has not won in five League One matches. Something has to give, but neither set of supporters is going to enjoy watching it.

Sheffield Wednesday welcome Stockport County to Hillsborough on Saturday looking to build on a bright start at home, but the data tells a more complicated story about where Wednesday's vulnerabilities really lie.

Wigan Athletic head into Saturday's League One fixture having lost both opening matches of the season, while Wycombe Wanderers arrive at the DW Stadium with a clean sheet from their only away outing so far. The structure of this one matters more than the names on the teamsheet.
