Wigan take on the visitors Sheffield United in the round 23 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Monday, December 19th at DW Stadium (Wigan).
Wigan players collected 17 points less than their next opponent in 22 rounds of the Championship. And in general, they took fewer points than everyone in the division, not counting Blackpool and Huddersfield Town. Recently Wigan made surprise bid for new manager. The Latics are remembered as a team that managed, unexpectedly long and steadily, to stay in the Premier League. But the peak of performances coincided with the beginning of failures: victory in the FA Cup turned into relegation to the Championship in less than a week. And now this is a team that is trying to gain a foothold again in the 2nd division. Previous attempts have ended with relegation to League One, which was won again last spring. Now, too, not everything worked out, and as a result, they have to fight for survival in the Championship again. Since December, they have been doing this under the leadership of Kolo Toure. As a full-fledged manager, the most famous Ivorian center back in the recent past started with a draw. His "Athletic" was able to achieve an away draw at Millwall.

Sheffield United gear up for new Premier League rise. The Blades have changed divisions frequently in recent years. Wilder climbed with them from League One to the Premier League, and there, for a start, the newcomer was not so far from entering the European Cup. But then the team deflated, failing the 2nd season at the elite level. And they played poorly even after relegation to the Championship. But the appointment of Heckingbottom could be significant. Last season Paul had time to raise the wards to the playoff zone, however, they have not succeeded there. But now the club clearly intends to go directly to the Premier League. And even after a pause, they continue to win. In most recent match local idol Sharpe scored the only goal against Huddersfield. And this is the 5th victory in 6 matches.
The last time the teams met was in the 2018/2019 season. Then both matches were won by Sheffield United. Wigan seems to be improving, but Sheffield United are just stronger. We bet on the away victory of the "Blades".
Prediction for the match: Sheffield United to win.
