Wigan – Leyton Orient

Wigan’s home defeat to Leyton Orient left the visitors cruising to a 2‑0 victory and climbing to 15th place with seven points, while the hosts slipped further down to 23rd with just four. The win gave Orient the edge in their head‑to‑head this season, a reversal of the earlier meeting where Wigan had come out on top. Wigan’s defensive frailties were on full display, conceding two without reply to add to a goal‑difference of minus seven after five matches. In contrast, Orient’s attack, now boasting twelve goals, showed the firepower that has helped them secure two wins and a draw so far. Both clubs will now look to build on the result as the league race tightens.
