In the Championship on Saturday, Norwich look to keep up their hopes of making the playoffs, while Wigan are in the relegation zone and looking to find their way out.
Wigan Form GuideWigan are in a relegation battle, and things are not great at the moment, but the good news is that they have improved a little recently. They come into the weekend in 22nd place, one spot inside the relegation zone, and two points away from safety. They were bottom at one point, but recent points have taken them from the foot of the table, now they need to build on it.
Earlier in the week, Wigan picked up a point in a 1-1 draw away at Bristol City, while last weekend they picked up three points in a 1-0 win over relegation rivals Huddersfield, three huge points. Overall, Wigan have lost just one of their last five, and picked up six points in that period, with one win and three draws, building a bigger points total.
Norwich Form GuideIn terms of the playoff race, Norwich come into the weekend on the outside looking in, but if things go their way, they could find themselves inside at the end of the weekend. They are ninth, three places behind the top six, but just two points behind, in what is already a very tight battle for the four spots.
In midweek, Norwich recorded an excellent 3-1 win over Norwich to end a two game run of defeats. However, those came against league leaders Burnley and away at Bristol City, who are on a good run, so not too bad. Overall, they've won three of their last five games.
Match PredictionWigan are getting better, but the feeling is that they still lack a little quality, and that will keep them in the relegation battle. With that in mind, we are going with a Norwich win here, the away side to take three points home with them, after Norwich put in an excellent performance during midweek.
