Wigan Athletic vs Wycombe Wanderers Prediction: Both teams will see the net

Wigan Athletic vs Wycombe Wanderers Prediction and Odds on 23 September 2025

The England EFL Cup 1/16 Finals matchup between Wigan Athletic and Wycombe Wanderers will kick off at The Strick Community Stadium. Wigan Athletic will aim to secure a win on their home soil and bounce back to winning ways, while Wycombe Wanderers will aim to secure a win on the road and extend their previous win to two games. Let’s analyse previous results, overall performance, recent forms, and my betting opinion on how to place your bets.

Wigan Athletic: Forms and Statistics

Wigan had a disastrous weekend, suffering a 1-4 derby defeat to Bolton, struggling with poor finishing and a lack of defensive discipline. Despite this setback, Ryan Lowe’s side have been strong at home with just one loss in seven home matches so far this season. In the League Cup, the Latics have already progressed through two rounds without conceding a single goal, but the test against Wycombe will be a whole new level of challenge. Wigan’s recent form is worrying: just two wins in their last eight games, and four matches where they conceded two or more goals. However, there’s a silver lining: the team has scored six goals in their last three outings, indicating the attacking threat remains.
