Huddersfield Town vs Wigan Athletic Prediction

Huddersfield have staggered into the new season and find themselves at the wrong end of the table heading into gameweek 10. Wigan, meanwhile, have enjoyed a fine start to their new campaign and are unbeaten on the road. They should maintain away form and claim a slender win.
