Match description
Northampton are in very poor form — lost 5 of their last 5 matches, scoring only 2 and conceding 10 in that period, yielding 0 points in the last five rounds. Wigan have the better run: over the last 5 matches they are 2-2-1, scoring 5 and conceding 4, averaging 1.6 points per match in that span. Offensively both teams are similar — Northampton score at home 1.0 goal on average with 9.79 shots and 3.37 on target, while Wigan away average 1.1 goals with 9.3 shots and 3.35 on target; however the visitors are more efficient (12% conversion vs 10%) and less likely to finish matches goalless (25% vs 37%). Defensively Northampton concede 1.11 goals at home on average and keep 26% clean sheets, whereas Wigan concede 1.95 goals away and have only 5% clean sheets, and the higher xG against Wigan (1.63 vs 1.26 for Northampton) indicates defensive vulnerability for the visitors. Considering Northampton’s extreme poor form and Wigan’s steadier recent results, I predict an away win; probabilities: Wigan 45%, draw 30%, Northampton 25%.
