POST-MATCH Wigan Athletic vs Reading
iddaakolik Post-Match Analysis — what we said & what happened

Reading edged past Wigan Athletic 2-1 away from home. The game was level at 0-0 at the break, so the decisive goals came after it.

We called this one close before kick-off — 38% / 27% / 35% — and on the day Reading made the difference. The goals read — under 2.5 goals (56%) — went the other way, though.

On the day, Wigan Athletic had 44% of the ball to Reading's 56%, shots finished 7-19, expected goals 0.41 to 2.08 — an xG gap that size says the one-goal margin undersold Reading's control.

Coming into the game, across their last 6 meetings in our records, Reading led the recent series with 3 wins, 1 drawn. Those games averaged 0.83 goals for Wigan Athletic and 1.00 for Reading.
