Sheffield United vs Wigan Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 04/04/2023, 19:06 by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 05/04/2023 at 07:30 in Championship Predictions

Second placed Sheffield United cannot afford to drop points at home to Wigan who are bottom of the Championship. With third placed Middlesbrough hosting league leaders Burnley later on Good Friday, United can go six points clear of Boro with a home win over Wigan. It's even more important that they get a win here as their next league game is away at Burnley. Wigan Athletic will also be desperate for some points as they bid to avoid relegation to League One. They begin Friday five points from safety but from a game more than Cardiff City.

Sheffield United - Wigan: Form Analysis

Sheffield United have recovered well from the bad patch they had earlier this year. A run of four defeats in six league games wiped out most of the big lead they had over third place. Those four losses were all against sides currently in the top six so not really shock results. They're still in the second automatic promotion spot but are still 11 points behind league leaders Burnley. It's just a question of securing second place and perhaps winning the FA Cup to qualify for the 2023/24 Europa League. United have won their last three league and cup games, two against sides in the top seven. The Blades have won 11 home league games this season. Two of the last three have been lost but they were against the sides third and fourth in the table.

Wigan Athletic keep winning promotion to the Championship and then getting relegated only to come up again. Another return to League One is looking likely for the cash-strapped club. Players will probably more interested in getting their wages paid as payments have been late in recent months. Their financial problems have hit their hopes of survival with three points being deducted. Wigan come into this match fresh from a 1-0 home win over QPR (who are in dreadful form) last weekend. That ended a run of eight league games without a win. On the road this season, Wigan have only won four league matches. They actually won four successive away games in the early weeks of the season but have gone 14 without a win since then, earning only six points.
