Northampton Town at 2.6 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the 1st League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — analytics guys would fade them.
Wigan Athletic’s 2.7 odds intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
