Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Wigan Athletic play host to Shrewsbury Town at their Brick Community Stadium on day 21 of the new League One campaign. The Latics did well to beat Bolton in their last league match, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they do not want to stop now. With no fresh injury worries to report, Shaun Maloney is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Trotters at the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Shrews have been struggling to find their form of late and given their poor defensive displays in back-to-back losses to Cambridge United (1-4) and Wycombe (1-4), we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. Shrewsbury midfielder Jordan Shipley is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
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).
