Notts County – Wigan

Notts County host Wigan in what promises to be a pivotal clash for both sides, with the home side perched at 16th place on seven points after a solitary win, four draws and a loss, and an even 7‑7 goal balance. Wigan, languishing near the foot of the table in 23rd, have collected just four points from one win, one draw and four defeats, their goal difference a stark –6 after conceding 11 while scoring only five. The fixture offers County a chance to tighten the gap to safety, while Wigan will be desperate to claw back into the survival battle and close the widening gulf to the mid‑table. Their head‑to‑head record this season has yet to be decided, but the stakes are clear: three points could prove decisive for both campaigns.
