Huddersfield Town v Wigan Athletic - Previous Meetings and Connections


Latics travel over the Pennines on Saturday to face Huddersfield Town in what is a crunch game down in the basement area of the Championship.

Time for another look back at previous encounters between the Latics and the Terriers and some of the connections between the clubs.

Previous - We have played each other on 31 occasions, with a record of nine wins for the Latics, fourteen for Huddersfield and eight draws.

The first meeting between the two clubs was in November 1973 when the then non-league Latics traveled to Leeds Road for a 1st round FA cup tie, 3rd Division Huddersfield ran out 2-0 winners that day, courtesy of two Bob Newton goals, in front of 9,557 spectators.

Of course that wasn’t the only time we met in the FA Cup, back in 2013 we beat Huddersfield by four goals to one at the John Smiths Stadium in the 5th round, we went on to win the cup that season, lovely.
