On Tuesday evening, Wigan Athletic host Hull City at the DW Stadium in the Championship, in a game that could be vital in the visitor's attempts at preserving their status in the second tier.
Just a few weeks ago, Wigan were relegation candidates. However, a recent good run of form has moved Paul Cook’s team nine points clear of the relegation zone. Barring anything extraordinary, the Latics will be playing Championship football next season.
A run of just one league defeat in their previous 12 league games has been the catalyst for the home sides prospective survival. A 0-0 draw at Barnsley last time out means that the Latics have taken four points from a possible six in the Championship.
An incredible run of stellar defensive displays has helped the Latics move clear of the drop zone.
The team from the north west have kept clean sheets in nine of their last ten league outings.
Home form has also been a key to their rise up the table, as Wigan are unbeaten in six home games in the second tier, having kept five straight clean sheets.
Hull currently occupy the last relegation berth in the Championship. However, all is not lost for the Tigers, who are just a point from the safety. The problem for Grant McCann’s team is that their recent form does not suggest that they are due a victory anytime soon.
A 1-0 home defeat by play-off chasing Millwall last time out was the visitor's third straight loss in the second tier. Unlike the hosts, Hull have been poor at the back in recent games, failing to keep a clean sheet in their previous 17 Championship matches.
Forebet predicts that Wigan will mathematically seal their spot in the Championship for next season by picking up a victory in a high-scoring clash.
