The best value is Over 2.5 goals at 2.15, with a model edge of +8.5 points.

Avoid Over 0.5 first-half goals at 1.40, where the market implies 71.4% but the model estimates only 60%.

Context

Cambridge beat Barnet (League Cup), Barrow, Notts County, and Salford City at home in recent matches.

Wigan lost to Grimsby and Southport in friendlies, but those results carry less weight.

- Their away league losses were against Stevenage and Reading, both mid-table sides.
Wigan won 2-1 at Cambridge in the FA Cup on 30 November 2024.
- Cambridge won 2-0 at home against Wigan in League One on 19 October 2024.
- The last five H2H matches include three home wins and two away wins, with no draws.
