Prediction: 3-1
Rotherham United
In this battle of the two newly promoted teams it’s anybody’s game. In an effort to stay up this season, both teams will come out swinging at the DW stadium in Wigan. They are sitting in 12th and 15th spot in the table respectively, separated by just one point. Wigan announced their comeback to the Championship with an opening day win but have been inconsistent since, losing their last match to QPR. Rotherham have opened with a tough defeat to Brentford but beat Milwall in their last game. Powell has scored three goals for Wigan so far, with Jacobs and Grigg adding two each. These players will be the key to Wigan’s game against Rotherham and their survival in the Championship. None of the Rotherham players have singled themselves out yet as potentially top scorers. Having scored twice as many goals than the Millers, the Latics will be favourites to walk away with all three points from this game.
