Prediction: 1-0
Burton
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Stevenage, Wigan Athletic will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Burton Albion on Matchday 16. The Latics have a chance to climb to 14th place in the standings, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Jensen Weir is banned for the match, with Oliver Norburn likely to sneak into the starting XI. New signing Josh Robinson is pushing for his first start for the club.
The Brewers, on the other hand, failed to win the previous eight league matches. Burton are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 15 points on their account and given their poor winless run, home win should be considered. Ciaran Gilligan and Alex Bannon should be the only absentees in the visiting team, while January signing Owen Dodgson should keep his place in the starting eleven.
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).
