Wigan vs Leyton Orient

Wigan welcome Leyton Orient to the Brick Community Stadium for an English League One clash, with both teams looking to ease away from danger.

Both sides are showing some good form at the moment, but the Latics have been particularly solid at home lately. They will be keen to show their quality over the visitors, who have been unconvincing on their travels.

Wigan News

Wigan head into this clash off the back of a 3-0 defeat at Reading in their previous League One fixture. That result puts Gary Caldwell's team just two points above the relegation zone, and they will be keen to increase that gap.

The good news for Wigan is that they have been unbeaten in their three previous matches, winning at least one half in all three fixtures, and will be keen to get back on track. They have also done well at home lately, winning four of their last five matches in front of their fans.

Goals are not a problem for Wigan, who have scored first in four of their last five home matches. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last eight League One fixtures.

Leyton Orient News

Sitting just four points above the hosts, Leyton Orient are not out of the woods yet and could easily be dragged into the relegation scrap. They are unbeaten in their last four matches but were held to a 0-0 draw at Exeter in their previous League One fixture.

The result at Exeter highlights an erratic away record for Leyton Orient, who have won just three of their last 10 matches on the road. Richie Wallens’ team have been beaten five times in this run and will be keen to improve their record on their travels.

Leyton Orient often show some attacking quality but are also a bit shaky at the back. They have scored and conceded in four of their last five League One away matches.

Head to Head

Wigan have four wins while Leyton Orient have picked up two victories, with three draws in the last nine matches. The visitors earned a 2-0 home win in the reverse fixture back in August.

Verdict

Wigan v Leyton Orient

Wigan are often solid at home and will be keen to give their fans something to cheer about. Having won at least one half in three of their last four League One matches, a repeat could be expected here.

Neither defence has been convincing lately, and both teams could be backed to score. With Wigan scoring first in four of their last five home matches, that trend is likely to continue on Thursday.
