Football : England: League One
Venue: STōK Cae Ras

---

Wrexham extended their unbeaten run in League One to seven games with a 2-1 home win against Blackpool on Boxing Day which also became The Dragons’ fifth win in seven games overall.

The Welsh hosts currently occupy 3rd place in the League One table and find themselves just three points behind the League One leaders, Birmingham City, prior to Sunday’s fixtures in the English third tier.

Previous wins against Exeter City, Lincoln City, Barnsley and Burton Albion have helped maintain Wrexham’s push for a third promotion on the trot for Phil Parkinson’s side while the bigger picture shows Wrexham have lost just once in their last 13 games overall.

Eight wins within these last 13 games suggest Wrexham should be too strong for 14th placed Wigan Athletic.

Onto Wigan Athletic and the Lancashire visitors bring a three-game unbeaten sequence into this upcoming clash having picked up wins against Bolton Wanderers and Rotherham United along with a draw with Shrewsbury Town.

League wins have been hard to come by for Wigan Athletic as the visitors have managed to collect just seven wins overall within their 21 matches played to date, but recent results have seen Wigan win three of their last four outings which includes a previous 1-0 win on the road at Barnsley.

The Latics have also produced an earlier 4-0 win away from home at Bristol Rovers but defeats at Reading, Birmingham City, Cambridge United and Huddersfield Town suggest this could be a long trip for Wigan Athletic on Sunday afternoon.

The Betting Verdict

Wrexham have won the last three meetings on the trot against Wigan Athletic and the hosts look the better equipped to take the spoils in this encounter as well.

The Pick :

Wrexham 2-1 Wigan Athletic
