Huddersfield Town vs Wigan Athletic predictions for today’s 12.30pm (UK time) kick-off at the John Smith’s Stadium back second-placed Huddersfield Town to win 2-0, and to win to nil at 29/20, against a Wigan Athletic side bottom of League One that have failed to score in six of their 10 games.
The Terriers have made a strong start to the season and look well set for a promotion push, while the Latics are already playing catch-up at the wrong end of the division.
On paper this is a mismatch, but Wigan’s stubbornness in this fixture over recent years is worth keeping in mind.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson sees few obstacles for the hosts here and leans on Huddersfield Town’s home strength for both of his selections.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Huddersfield Town to win to nil | 29/20 (10bet) | Huddersfield Town have conceded just five goals in five home games and kept three clean sheets across the campaign, so the platform for a shutout is clearly there. Wigan sit bottom for a reason, having failed to score in six of their 10 fixtures and mustering only three goals on their travels all season. The Terriers boast one of the division’s better home records, and a Wigan side this blunt rarely tests organised defences. Backing Huddersfield to win without conceding at 29/20 looks a sensible way into a game they should control from the front. |
| Joe Taylor to score two or more goals | 6/1 (Ladbrokes) | Joe Taylor has eight League One goals for Huddersfield Town and has scored twice in a game three times this season, including in their last match. Wigan Athletic are bottom of the table, have scored in only four of their 10 games and have conceded 15 goals, seven of them in five away matches. Huddersfield have scored 13 times in five home games. Ladbrokes’ 6/1 on Taylor scoring two or more is a bigger-price play alongside our win-to-nil pick. |

How Huddersfield Town go into the game
Huddersfield Town sit second in League One, 22 points from 11 games after six wins, four draws and a single defeat. The John Smith’s Stadium has been a stronghold, yielding three wins and two draws from five, with 13 goals scored and only five conceded.
The Terriers go into this in excellent shape, beating Peterborough United 4-1 last time out and winning 2-0 at Plymouth Argyle before that. A 2-2 home draw with Sheffield Wednesday and a 3-1 win at Burton Albion complete a strong recent run, with their only blemish a 2-1 defeat at Bromley.
How Wigan Athletic go into the game
Wigan Athletic prop up the table in 24th, with seven points from 10 games and a goal difference of minus eight. Their travels have been bleak: no wins, one draw and four defeats on the road, with just three goals scored away from home all season.
Form offers little comfort either. A 2-1 loss at Oxford United last time out followed a rare 1-0 home win over Reading, with defeats at Stevenage and at home to Wycombe Wanderers either side of a goalless draw at Sheffield Wednesday. The Latics have failed to score in six of their 10 games.
Huddersfield Town vs Wigan Athletic head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28/02/26 | Wigan Athletic | 1-0 | Huddersfield Town |
| 13/12/25 | Huddersfield Town | 1-1 | Wigan Athletic |
| 25/02/25 | Wigan Athletic | 2-1 | Huddersfield Town |
| 03/12/24 | Huddersfield Town | 1-0 | Wigan Athletic |
| 11/02/23 | Wigan Athletic | 1-0 | Huddersfield Town |
These sides have met five times in recent seasons, and the meetings have been tight, low-scoring affairs. Wigan Athletic have actually won three of the five, including a 1-0 success at home last February, while Huddersfield Town’s win came 1-0 at the John Smith’s in December 2024. Every meeting has produced three goals or fewer, so a cagey game would be no surprise despite the gulf in current form.
