Wigan Athletic U21

vs

Barnsley U21

Expect a high-scoring, open contest between two attacking sides with defensive frailties. Wigan U21 are in excellent recent form with 3.6 goals scored per game in their last five, but they also concede an average of 2. Barnsley U21 have won three straight, also scoring well, but their defence is similarly leaky. Both teams rarely keep clean sheets and have a strong BTTS and over 2.5 profile.
