Doncaster vs Wigan Prediction & Betting Tips (16 January)

The recent home record of Doncaster does not make for pretty reading, with seven defeats in ten top-flight fixtures and a whopping 19 goals conceded across these losses. Wigan, on the other hand, have been punching above their weight this season, and a recent record of four wins from nine trips is not-too-shabby in such a competitive league.

In advance of last match, under 2.5 goals had been the order of the day in six Wigan matches on the bounce in EFL Trophy, with the net bulging just seven times in total across these games. Given that seven of the previous nine Doncaster home fixtures at this level have followed the same pattern, no more than two goals are expected when the teams go head-to-head.

When Wigan come calling in the EFL Trophy, excitement tends to be in short supply, with at least one of the two teams pitching a shutout in 14 of their previous 19 away games. It has been a similar story as far as Doncaster are concerned on their own patch of late, with both teams on target in just two of their last nine matches at this level, so something similar seems likely.
