THE PREDICTION
League One champions Wigan return to English football’s second tier two years after a 12-point deduction enforced on them due to administration saw the club relegated on the last day of the 2019-20 season. Without that deduction, Latics would have finished in 13th-place and under new ownership, they’ll be desperate to make up for lost time under the command of Leam Richardson who was assistant manager last time Wigan were in the Championship. Preston started last season poorly, but improved following the appointment of Ryan Lowe as manager and will be looking to make a positive start to this new campaign after having been boosted by the incomings of Troy Parrott and Alvaro Fernandez across the week, both arriving on loan. Expect the sort of feisty affair you would imagine a local derby, but whilst Latics have the momentum of promotion and a home crowd behind them, Preston boasts the more established Championship squad and significant strength-in-depth available to Lowe from the bench. Back the visitors to gain either a win or draw here via the double chance market.
