Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: The DW Stadium (25138 seats)

Season ticket holders at The DW Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Wigan Athletic languishing in the 22nd position so far. The guesting Fleetwood Town will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Wigan Athletic have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Fleetwood Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a League One game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Milton Keynes Dons. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Wigan Athletic form and stats

Wigan Athletic's struggle is real here at The DW Stadium with only 9 points collected from 10 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-5.

Wigan Athletic drew their last game, 3-3 away at Rochdale (placed 18th). In the game before, an away victory match versus Burton Albion with a 4-3 scoreline.

A goal frenzy last time out for Wigan, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Rochdale. Fun stuff to watch!

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Blackpool are coming to town in three days.

The Wigan fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded.
