【Expert Prediction】 🟢2-1🔵
Based on the available information, I predict a 2-1 victory for the home team, Wigan Athletic.
While Salford City have performed well so far this season, Wigan Athletic's strong home record and their motivation to secure a positive result in front of their fans suggest they have the edge in this EFL Trophy encounter.
Wigan Athletic will likely look to control possession and create scoring opportunities through their experienced attacking players. Salford City may struggle to contain the home side's offensive threat, but they have the quality to pose a threat on the counterattack.
An unexpected win for Salford City or a more one-sided victory for Wigan Athletic cannot be ruled out entirely, but a 2-1 win for the home team is my prediction for this EFL Trophy match.
This game has the potential to be an engaging affair, with both teams eager to secure valuable points and progress in the competition.
