Wigan – Doncaster

Wigan host bottom‑placed Doncaster in what promises to be a crucial clash at the DW Stadium, with both sides desperate for points. The home side sit 23rd with just four points from six games, having scored five and conceded eleven, while the visitors occupy the final spot on 24th with three points, a goal‑difference of minus three after netting six and letting in nine. With Wigan’s solitary win and Doncaster’s three draws the two clubs have yet to taste victory this season, the encounter could easily turn the tide for either campaign. A win for either side would lift them out of the relegation zone, making the fixture a must‑win for both.
