Prediction: 1-0
Barnsley
Wigan Athletic will be aiming to put an end to their four-game losing run in the Championship when they host Barnsley at their DW Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Latics just can’t find their best form at the start of the season and, as a result, they sit in the danger zone in the standings just like their next rivals Barnsley.
There will be fireworks when the two teams face each other in the relegation six-pointer on Matchday 6, but seeing that the Tykes experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a back-to-back losses to the likes of Birmingham City and Barnsley, we believe that the hosts will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. In their last meeting in the English second tier the Latics emerged triumphant, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.

Highlighted Team (Barnsley):
Barnsley are an English club nicknamed the Tykes. The club was founded in 1887 and it has to be noted that they spend more seasons in the Championship than any other club in the history. The Tykes played in the Sheffield and District League from 1890, but in 1895 they were part of the Midland League. Barnsley play their home games at Oakwell, the stadium that was built in 1887.
The capacity of the stadium is 23,009 and it was opened back in 1888, just one year after the club’s foundation. The Tykes made it to the FA Cup final in 1910, but Newcastle United proved to be a big catch for the Oakwell outfit in the title game.
Nonetheless, Barnsley won the FA cup trophy in 1912 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Barnsley defeated West Bromwich Albion in the two-legged tie (0-0, 1-0) to clinch the prestigious trophy for the first and only time in their history.
