- Wigan Athletic has the fewest scored goals in the first half (6) in League One
It's no vacation for neither Swindon nor Wigan Athletic as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

The story so far in the League One for Swindon Town at their home stadium (The Energy Check County Ground) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.
In the match before that, Swindon Town hosted Charlton Athletic and drew the game 2-2.

The last three matches for Wigan Athletic have all ended in a draw. Visiting Wigan has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Shrewsbury Town.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wigan Athletic playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Wigan Athletic win, one draw and four defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Wigan Athletic manager J. Sheridan as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against AFC Wimbledon.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Wigan Athletic have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
