Overview.
Perilously close to the bottom three, Wigan have developed a reputation for being slow starters, as only three other Championship teams have scored fewer first-half goals than the ‘Latics’. In addition, no other team has gone into the break trailing more often than Wigan, who have lost the first half five times this season.
Overall, the Latics’ last seven league matches have seen five games finish with under 2.5 combined goals scored. Additionally, five of these teams’ last eight Championship H2H meetings have also seen under 2.5 goals scored (total).
Mid-table Birmingham City have won two of the last five Championship away days to see them score first. But the ‘Blues’ lost 3-2 last time on the road, and have now conceded exactly three goals in four competitive away trips this season. That marks their eighth road trip this calendar year where they’ve conceded over 2.5 goals (in all competitions). Having scored over 1.5 goals in just six away league matches in 2019, Birmingham have already failed to score in half of their six awaydays (in all competitions) this season. Yet as well as scoring in their last two Championship away games, Birmingham have conceded in both halves in three of six away trips (in all competitions).
