Huddersfield Town and Wigan Athletic meet so often they feel like familiar opponents, and most results have finished with a single-goal margin, whether it was the latest meeting where Wigan Athletic won 1-0 away or the one before that ended 1-1. This time the picture is no longer that close, because the two teams are in different phases of the table. Huddersfield Town are playing with confidence, on a winning run and unbeaten in their recent matches, scoring heavily at home to make life difficult for opponents. Meanwhile Wigan Athletic lost their latest match and are without a win in their recent games, their attack is blunt with only 7 goals from 10 matches, but their defence has not collapsed every game either — a defeat by two goals or more has not happened at all in their last five matches. If Huddersfield Town can start on the front foot like in their recent home matches and score early, the game could flow one way. But if Wigan Athletic sit deep and wait to counter with discipline, the game will become a test of patience, and that is the path that keeps it from slipping away easily.
