Burton Albion – Wigan

Burton Albion host Wigan in what promises to be a clash of contrasting fortunes, with the Pirelli Stadium side sitting on eight points in 11th place after two wins, two draws and two defeats, their goal tally perfectly balanced at ten for and ten against. Wigan, languishing near the bottom in 23rd with just four points from one win, one draw and four losses, have struggled defensively, conceding 11 goals while only finding the net five times. The two teams have already met twice this season, each match ending in a stalemate, underscoring the fine margins that could decide this encounter. A victory for Burton would solidify their mid‑table stability, whereas Wigan will need a full points haul to keep any hope of climbing out of the relegation zone.
