Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Wigan Athletic play host to Bristol Rovers at their Brick Community Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting League One game. The Latics aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Burton and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Pirates. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both Will Goodwin and Joseph Hungbo could sneak into the starting XI.
The Pirates, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Cambridge United and Barnsley. As Bristol Rovers have been in a much better form of late than Wigan Athletic, we predict that they are going to grab something from Saturday’s clash. Inigo Calderon has no fresh selection worries ahead of the trip to Greater Manchester. In their last meeting at the venue, Wigan Athletic defeated Bristol Rovers 2-0 and yet another low-scoring affair is on the cards.
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.
Wigan have been playing their home games at the DW Stadium since 1999 and they had played at Springfield Park in the past. Chorley are considered Wigan’s fierce rivals, but the two teams last met in 1971, when they competed in the Northern Premier League. The likes of Preston North End, Bury, Oldham Athletic, Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are regarded as Wigan Athletic’s rivals as well.
The club was founded in 1932 and they competed in the English Premier League from 2005 to 2013. The colour of Wigan’s home kit is blue and white (stripes).
