Doncaster look to build on their recent improvement as they host Wigan in this League One clash, but given their struggles at home, we predict a 2-1 away win. Defender Sean Grehan remains sidelined for the hosts, though he is not a first-team regular, meaning the overall structure of Grant McCann’s side remains intact. The Donny have won two of their last three matches, but their home form continues to be a concern, averaging just 0.80 points per game and conceding 2.4 goals per home outing. Their matches tend to be open, with a high average of 3.8 goals per home game and 80% BTTS at home, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities.
Wigan, meanwhile, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat to Bolton with no fresh injury worries. The Latics remain without Mabaya, Rogers, and Trevitt, yet still possess enough balance in key areas. The Latics have been more competitive away from home, collecting 1.40 points per game, conceding only 0.8 goals per away match, and keeping 40% away clean sheets. Offensively they remain modest scorers, but more efficient than Doncaster defensively.
History also favours Wigan, who have won seven of their last 12 meetings with Doncaster. Considering Wigan's better away numbers and stronger defensive profile, our prediction leans toward Away Win, with additional value on Over 2.5 goals and BTTS as Doncaster recent games average 3.7 goals.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 24 January 2026 at 15:00.
