Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We're expecting a game with little to choose between the sides here and, as such, are predicting under 2.5 goals. For those unfamiliar with that term, this simply means that 2 goals or less will be scored in total as Northampton and Wigan go head-to-head. Tight defences and clear heads will be required to deliver us a winner, but we trust both sides to deliver precisely that. The stats and the odds below also suggest this is a strong tip.

Wigan Athletic's defensive record is very strong, Shaun Maloney's men having conceded 1 or less in 9 consecutive League One outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Northampton Town makes sense in this context.
