Huddersfield Town vs Wigan Athletic Prediction: Terriers to benefit from home comforts

There's a full League 1 schedule in midweek and there's an intriguing looking match taking place at the John Smith's Stadium on Tuesday (20:00), as fifth-placed Huddersfield take on Wigan, live on Sky Sports Football.

Here is our Huddersfield Town vs Wigan Athletic Prediction, as well as all the latest odds, stats and team news. 

Huddersfield Town and Wigan Athletic both head into Tuesday's League One meeting at the John Smith's Stadium in impressive form.

The Terriers are unbeaten in their last seven league matches, a run that has moved them into the play-off positions, while they have won six games in a row across all competitions on home turf.

Wigan have suffered just one defeat in seven across league and cup, with Saturday's extra-time success over Cambridge United in the second round of the FA Cup making it three victories on the spin for Shaun Maloney's side.

Team news

Huddersfield picked up another injury in midweek with pacey left wing back Mickel Miller expected to be out for a few weeks. Head coach Michael Duff is expected to replace him with Josh Ruffels, who came on against Leyton Orient.

Wigan boss Maloney made several changes for the cup win at Cambridge, with the likes of Jensen Weir, Matt Smith and Jonny Smith expected to return to the starting XI for this one - the latter scored a 119th-minute winner from the bench on Saturday.

Huddersfield sit 10 places and nine points better off than Wigan in the standings, so it is no surprise they are the 8/11 favourites to win this game, with the Latics 4/1. The draw is priced at 13/5.

Terriers forward Josh Koroma is the 9/2 favourite to open the scoring. On-loan Manchester United youngster Joe Hugill is considered the most likely player to break the deadlock for Wigan at 17/2.

Huddersfield to win to nil @ 13/8

Following last season's relegation from the Championship and a new boss being appointed in Duff, it took Huddersfield time to settle into League One, but they now appear to have found their feet, with their last league defeat coming at Birmingham City over two months ago.

The Terriers have made the John Smith's a fortress of late, winning six matches on the spin at the venue and keeping three clean-sheets during that time, while they also shut out Leyton Orient on the road in their most recent fixture.

Wigan are also in decent form, but they have failed to score in three of their last five road fixtures in the league, while half of their eight away goals in the division came in one game at Bristol Rovers in September.

This is a match Huddersfield will expect to win and they can do so with the added bonus of keeping a clean-sheet.

Under 2.5 goals and Town over 6.5 corners (Bet Builder market) @ 11/4

Wigan may struggle to score on Tuesday, but they are unlikely to let many in either, as despite sitting 15th in the standings they have conceded only 13 goals to date in League One - a record only bettered by high-flying Wrexham.

Huddersfield also don't concede many, letting in just 15, so backing under 2.5 goals in the match should form the backbone of this Bet Builder.

It could also be worth incorporating Town to win more than 6.5 corners given they are averaging over seven in the division this season and have gone beyond that mark in five of their last six home games in the league, including earning 17 in a 2-0 win over Barnsley.
