The supporters enjoyed Wigan Athletic's previous game versus Birmingham City (placed 14th), a Championship 1-0 win played at home. A 0-2 defeat away at Fulham before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

The attacking power of Wigan Athletic when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. The Wigan Athletic manager P. Cook has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.
