Stevenage vs Wigan Prediction & Betting Tips

Form check on both sides

Stevenage have won two, drawn three and lost two of their last seven league games, with a big 5-1 away win at Barnsley mixed in among some tighter, low-scoring draws. It's not flashy, but it's been steady enough to keep them mid-table.

Wigan's league form reads very differently. In their last six league outings they've won just once, drawn once and lost four times, including a heavy 4-0 home defeat to Stockport County and a home loss to Wycombe. A midweek EFL Trophy win over Blackpool won't change that picture in the league.

Stevenage's greater consistency gives them a modest edge going into this one.

Comparative Team Statistics: Stevenage vs Wigan

Head-to-head history

These two have met six times since 2023, and it's been a tight rivalry throughout. The most recent meeting, back in May, finished 1-0 to Stevenage, while the one before that was goalless. Several of the six games have been draws or settled by a single goal, so this fixture doesn't tend to produce landslides.

Recent history suggests a close contest again is more likely than a one-sided scoreline.

Where they sit in the table

Seven games into the season, Stevenage are 11th with nine points from two wins, three draws and two defeats. Wigan are down in 24th on just four points, having won only once themselves. The goal difference tells a similar story, with Stevenage on 11 for and eight against compared to Wigan's five for and twelve against.

That gap in the table lines up neatly with the form each side has shown recently.

Players to watch

There's no confirmed injury news to flag for either side, but a couple of names stand out from the data available. Stevenage's D. Kemp and O. Sanderson have each scored three times in seven appearances, while P. Patterson has added two assists in five games. On the disciplinary side, Stevenage's L. Freestone and Wigan's J. Carragher have both already picked up three yellow cards this season.

How this one could play out

Given Wigan's struggles on the road and Stevenage's slightly better underlying numbers, this looks like it could be a cagey game where clear chances are hard to come by. Wigan have shown they can still score in bursts, as their 3-1 win over MK Dons proved, so it wouldn't be a shock if they found the net here too.
