Goals Look in Short Supply

For those that agree with our view that this will be low-scoring, take the 1.73 when it comes to Under 2.5 on the Total Goals market. We don’t think Wigan and Barnsley will serve up a goalfest.

Wigan Won 1-0 When Teams Last Met

Wigan Athletic were defeated on the road in their last game. Charlton Athletic won 2-1 at The Valley.

Barnsley played Cambridge United at home in their previous game. It was a 1-1 draw at Oakwell Stadium.

Wigan have not lost to Barnsley in the past three meetings. In their last encounter, Wigan travelled to Oakwell Stadium and landed a 1-0 win. The past 6 H2H meetings have resulted in four draws along with a win for Wigan and Barnsley.

Wigan vs Barnsley Odds

The bookies have priced up the Full-Time Result betting odds and Wigan Athletic are 2.30 to land a League One home victory, while Barnsley are 3.00 to win on the road. The draw is trading at 3.40 should you think the clash will end all square.

The game is predicted to be a low-scoring one and that is borne out by Under 2.5 Goals trading at short odds. Both Teams to Score is a popular bet and the Yes/No options are something of a toss-up here.
