Looking back at the meetings between these two teams, there was a match where Oxford United thrashed Wigan Athletic 4-2 at home in early 2024, and there was a match where Wigan Athletic came away with a 2-0 win at Oxford United's ground in late 2023, alternating back and forth. But the current condition of the two teams is quite different from back then, especially for the away side, which has dropped to 24th in the table. Oxford United has not lost in the league for several matches now. In their most recent home game, they attacked well and won 3-0. As for Wigan Athletic, they just won 1-0 in their latest league match, but before that they lost with few answers, especially in defense where they conceded 13 goals in 9 matches. Their attack has also scored only 6 goals, which is the fewest among the teams at the bottom of the table. If Oxford United scores first from their persistent pressing attack, Wigan Athletic, who will have to open up and fight despite their leaky defense, might concede again late in the game, which is when Oxford United scores most often. This match is likely to end with the home team taking all three points without much trouble.
