Prediction: 1-1
Wigan
Burton will be looking to put an end to their three-game losing run in League One when they welcome Wigan at their Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday evening. The Brewers suffered a massive 5-1 defeat to Lincoln City on Boxing Day, with the team remaining in the ultimate position in the standings. The rock-bottom side are desperate to grab something from the relegation six-pointer against Wigan Athletic, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field.
Midfielder Sam Hughes, who suffered an injury in a 3-1 loss to Doncaster, remains in the recovery room. The Latics, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back draws with Fleetwood and Shrewsbury. Since Wigan are desperate to return to winning ways as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score this time out.

Highlighted Team (Wigan):
Wigan Athletic are one of the winners of the English FA Cup. The Latics won the prestigious trophy in 2013, with the team upsetting Manchester City in the title game. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but it has to be noted that Wigan played in the UEFA Europa League in the 2013/2014 season.
