Latics Looking to Build on Rare Home Victory
Wigan Athletic will be welcoming Cambridge United to their home turf on March 8th, hoping to turn their lackluster season around. The Latics have been having a rough time lately, with just one win in their last nine matches. That's a pretty dismal 11% win rate, isn't it? Their goal-scoring record hasn't been fantastic either, with only 6 goals scored while conceding 10.But there's a glimmer of hope for interim manager Glenn Whelan's men! Their last home game brought a much-needed 2-1 victory against Huddersfield on February 25th. This rare win might just be the confidence booster they need. At home, Wigan has managed one win, one draw, and three losses in their last five matches – not great, but that recent win could signal a change in fortunes. Can they make it two home wins on the bounce?

Cambridge United Finding Their Feet Under Harris
The U's are coming into this match with a bit more pep in their step. Under Neil Harris's guidance, Cambridge have picked up 3 wins from their last 10 matches, along with 3 draws and 4 losses. That 30% win rate might not sound amazing, but it's substantially better than their hosts'.Cambridge have been finding the net more regularly too, scoring 12 goals while letting in 14. Their away form has been a mixed bag with one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five road trips. But they're fresh off an impressive 2-0 away victory at Crawley on March 1st. Before that, they handled Stockport 2-0 at home on February 22nd. There's definitely some momentum building here. They've shown they can score on the road, with 6 goals in their last 5 away games.
History Favors The U's
If we look at the history between these two sides, Cambridge actually holds the edge. In their previous encounters, Cambridge has won 3 matches to Wigan's 2, with one draw between them. The U's have also been more prolific in front of goal, netting 11 times compared to Wigan's 7 in their head-to-head matches.Interestingly, the last time these two met was just a few months ago on November 30th, 2024, at Cambridge's home ground. That match ended with Wigan claiming a victory, though the reported score of 1-1 suggests some confusion in the record books! This upcoming match gives Cambridge a chance to even the score from their last meeting.With the bookies giving Wigan a 47.5% chance of winning compared to Cambridge's 22.6% (and a 29.9% chance of a draw), the home side are favored. But we all know football doesn't always follow the odds, right?

Saturday Showdown: What to Expect
This League One clash kicks off at 3:00 PM on March 8th, 2025. Both teams have something to prove here. Wigan desperately need points to climb away from the danger zone, while Cambridge will be eager to continue their recent improved form.Wigan's interim boss Glenn Whelan is still finding his feet in management, but that win against Huddersfield could be a turning point. For Cambridge, Neil Harris has been gradually implementing his philosophy, and those back-to-back wins against Stockport and Crawley show it might be starting to click.With both teams having identical 20% win rates in their respective home/away forms, something's gotta give. Will Wigan build on their recent home success? Can Cambridge continue their scoring form on the road? League One never disappoints when it comes to drama, and this match promises to deliver plenty of it!
