Cardiff City vs Wigan Athletic Prediction

Both teams are on a poor run of form right now, going winless in their last few games. Wigan are at the bottom of the standings, but Cardiff haven't really covered themselves in glory.

Their FA Cup draw with Leeds United could give them motivation ahead of this clash, and they might as well beat Wigan, albeit narrowly.
