We have six games in the Championship on Tuesday night, and one of those is this game, a contest that affects both the top and bottom of the league, as playoff pushing Coventry travel to relegation threatened Wigan.
Wigan Form GuideThings are not looking great for Wigan at the moment, they arrive here at the bottom of the Championship table, with 32 points on the board. That puts them six clear of safety, and only bottom on goal difference, as the two teams above them also have 32 points. But no win in six games, and just one point from their last four is not the kind of form they need to get out.
last weekend, Wigan were comfortably beaten by league leading Burnley, losing that game 3-0 away from home. Before that, they were beaten 1-0 away at West Brom. They have picked up draws against Birmingham, Norwich and Bristol City in their last six games, but those are no good, wins are needed to survive.
Coventry Form GuideCoventry are making a late push for the Championship playoffs, and come into this game knowing they need three points from it. They are in ninth position with 53 points, that puts them four behind Millwall, who are holding onto sixth. There's not just Coventry chasing though, it's tightly packed and many will fancy their chances of squeezing into the playoffs.
At the weekend, Coventry failed to get a win, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Hull, but overall the bigger picture has been very good. They are unbeaten in their last six games, and have four wins and two draws in that period. It has certainly been a strong push, the challenge now is to keep it up.
Match PredictionA game that will impact both top and bottom of the league, and we are going with Coventry as the pick to win the game. They arrive in good form, need a win, and can get one against a Wigan team who are really struggling to find wins at the moment, it's Coventry for us.
