Game: WIGAN vs HULL
Type: PREMIER LEAGUE
Date: 22 March, 2009
PREVIEW
The last time these two met, Hull was handed a trashing by Wigan by a whopping 5-0 scoreline. It was a flattering scoreline to say the least as Hull had the majority of possession but Wigan capitalized on their mistakes to score those goals. Wigan has developed into a very organized and compact team, and difficult for opponents to break down. At home, they concede only 0.80 goals per game.
Hull will be aware of Wigan's stout defending, and will surely be looking for that early goal to open the match up. Stats are backing them to score, as in the last 17 away matches they have failed to score only 3 times. The visitors tend to play much better away than home, as attest by their home and away record. Will they be able to avenge defeat?
KWIK STATS
HOME > WIGAN
AWAY > HULL
THE PICK
Wigan is struggling to score goals of late, and i don't expect things to change here. HULL will be going all out to ensure that the host doesn't get to do a 'double' over them - especially after the mauling from the previous meeting. Accept the handicap given and cheer for the away team!
