Wigan vs Preston Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot Predictions

• A terrific campaign last season saw Wigan crowned league one champions and a return to championship football.
• The main aim for the newly promoted side is to avoid an immediate demotion to League One after  spending two years in the third tier of English football.
• The Latics have been involved in four friendly matches winning three and drawing the other.
• Preston did not have a good season by their standard last season and failed to compete for playoff places and eventually finishing 13th.
• They will hope for a good start this time round against the newly promoted side.
• The visitors have been involved in five warm-up matches winning three and losing two.
• Saturday’s game could be decided by whichever team scores first with both clubs adept at keeping things tight once they are in front.
