Burton enter their final game of the year full of confidence after producing one of their best performances of the season, a dominant 5-1 Boxing Day win over Northampton. With Wigan struggling to find their best form of late, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. Burton's attacking numbers have improved significantly, scoring 1.60 goals per match overall, while their expected goals sits at a steady 1.53. At home, they remain competitive (1.40 PPG) despite inconsistent defending, conceding 1.60 goals per game at the Pirelli Stadium. Midfielder Charlie Webster is injured, while defender Toby Sibbick is unavailable due to international duty, though neither absence was felt in the Boxing Day triumph.
Wigan, meanwhile, continue to struggle for consistency, collecting just 1.20 points per game in all competitions. The Latics’ issues are most evident in attack, scoring only 1.00 goal per match overall, while their expected goals of 1.28 reflects limited chance creation. They also arrive weakened, with key midfield duo Jensen Weir and Matthew Smith suspended, reducing creativity and ball control. Their Boxing Day outing ended poorly, losing 2-1 and extending a poor recent run.
Considering Burton's stronger momentum and better scoring form, Home Win markets boasts big value, alongside BTTS (Burton 60%, Wigan 70-100% Away) and Burton Over 1.5 goals.
This League 1 match will be played on Monday 29 December 2025 at 19:45.
