- Stevenage Borough have won three of their last five matches across all competitions (1 Draw, 1 Defeat).
- Wigan Athletic have lost two of their last five (2 Wins, 1 Draw).
Boro are on the up
Stevenage Borough can take some confidence into this weekend's League One 2026-2027 clash at the Lamex Stadium as they are unbeaten in four of the last five head-to-head meetings with Wigan Athletic and won the last meeting 1-0 on home soil five months ago in 2025/2026.
The Boro sit in 13th position with nine points from seven matches in League One 2026-2027 and come into this with some momentum after winning three of their last five in all competitions (1D, 1L). Alex Revell has got them set up to flood wide areas with overloading wing-backs, press compactly when necessary and be a threat on set plays and in the second phase.
Stevenage's home record in this league so far reads one win, one draw and one defeat and they have hit five goals in that trio of matches. The Lamex side lost 1-0 at Leyton Orient in their most recent League One outing but they thrashed Walsall 6-1 in the EFL Trophy, so The Boro can be tough to break down and possess an attacking threat when they get going.
The Latics are inconsistent
Wigan Athletic's form has been all over the place of late with two wins, one draw and two defeats from their last five in all competitions. Gary Caldwell's men are adaptable and pragmatic in terms of their setup, relying on structure, triggers and controlled intensity, but also with the ability to shape-shift and change intensity.
The Latics are in a precarious 24th position with just four points from their seven League One 2026/2027 outings so far. Wigan have averaged 0.67 goals scored and 1.33 conceded per game on the road (0 Wins, 1 Draw, 2 Losses) and this looks like a tough one for them given the Lamex's current confidence.
Jensen Weir top scores for the Latics in League One 2026/2027 with two goals in seven and he has scored two of Wigan's last six goals in all competitions, netting twice in the past five. Michael Mellon has been busy for Stevenage with four of his side's last 13 goals in all competitions coming in the most recent five. However, Dan Kemp has been the main League One 2026/2027 threat for The Boro with three goals in seven.
Side with the Lamex
Stevenage are 29/25 favourites for this fixture, which is a little surprising when Wigan are 23/10 alongside a 23/10 Draw option. We're taking the hosts as they have shown the ability to grind out results as well as score goals, while Wigan have been struggling and inconsistent.
This should be a cagey fixture with The Boro likely to get the better of the visitors, but the Latics are capable of digging in and nullifying the hosts' threat so it's unlikely to be a high-scoring affair. Under 2.5 goals at 73/100 looks a solid option and Both Teams to Score - No at 87/100 is another decent play.
