Wigan Athletic
Cheltenham Town
Contents
- Competition: League One
- Date: Friday, 23rd February 2024
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: DW Stadium (Wigan)
Over the past decade, Wigan has frequently alternated between the Championship and League One. This season was particularly unstable for the Greater Manchester team, as they received an eight-point deduction due to financial difficulties. Following this penalty, it was evident that Wigan would not be among the top teams in the division. Currently, Shaun Maloney’s squad appears to be on track to end the season in a mid-table position. Wigan has lost two of their last three matches. However, in their most recent game, they secured a 1-0 victory away against Shrewsbury. Despite the home side having an expected goal (xG) of 1.45 and the visitors having 0.41, Wigan was lucky to walk away with all three points.
Cheltenham is currently in their third consecutive season in League One. However, they are at risk of this being their final season in this league as they currently sit in the relegation zone, one point shy of safety. Despite having won their last three games consecutively, they need to maintain this winning streak to stave off relegation. In their last match, Cheltenham triumphed 3-2 over Port Vale at home. They dominated most of the match, making their victory well-earned.
Wigan vs Cheltenham pick: Both teams to score &— yes
Wigan has managed to secure at least one goal in their past nine matches, while Cheltenham has also scored a minimum of one goal in their last five games. Given these statistics, the most promising betting option for this League One tie would be ‘yes’ for both teams to score.

Wigan team news
Wigan emerged victorious against Shrewsbury last weekend, leaving head coach, Shaun Maloney, extremely pleased. He commented, “In the first half, we handled the ball well even though we weren’t as aggressive as I would’ve liked. The situation reversed in the second half; we managed to score and had to stay strong mentally — a temperament we haven’t demonstrated lately. I found the players’ performance outstanding. Both the starters and the substitutes made incredible blocks to prevent shots on our goal. I derive immense satisfaction from seeing the team go all out for their club and teammates, and they did just that today, which I thoroughly appreciated.”
