Match Preview
Wigan Athletic will host Stockport County in the Carabao Cup at the DW Stadium on Tuesday night, with both teams looking to build momentum early in the season. Wigan's recent form has been mixed, with two wins and three losses in their last five matches. In contrast, Stockport County arrives with a stronger record, having secured three wins and two draws in the same period. This difference in form could play a crucial role in the match, as Stockport appears to be gaining confidence. Historically, encounters between these two sides have been tightly contested, with no matches featuring over 2.5 goals or both teams scoring in their last ten meetings. This trend suggests that a low-scoring affair could be on the cards, especially given Wigan's struggles in front of goal recently. The home advantage may provide Wigan with a slight edge; however, Stockport's current form and attacking prowess could challenge the hosts. Expect a tactical battle where defensive solidity will be key for both sides.
