Wigan – Burton Albion

Wigan host Burton Albion in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides. The hosts sit 23rd with just four points from six games, having scored only five while conceding eleven, and will be desperate to pick up points to climb out of the relegation zone. Burton sit comfortably in mid‑table at 11th, holding eight points after two wins, two draws and two defeats, with a balanced goal tally of ten for and ten against. The recent head‑to‑head record offers little comfort for Wigan, as they have struggled to find the net against higher‑placed opposition this season. A win for Wigan could spark a revival, while Burton will look to consolidate their position and push towards the playoff spots.
