Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's 80% chance of Wigan and Northampton a maximum of 3 goals combined during this League One game according to our predictive algorithm and, without a strong favourite in the win draw win market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Calculations are made based on 20-game form, historical head-to-head (H2H) stats and the view of the betting market, and you can go with it at a best price of 1.17.
