Burton vs Wigan
England – League One
Date: Tuesday, 12 April 2022
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Pirelli Stadium.
The league leaders Wigan will be traveling to Pirelli Stadium this Tuesday to meet with Burton Albion who are currently on a 3-game winless run in the league.
The Latics are at top flight in League One with 86 points from 40 games. They won 26 games this season and are currently on a 8-game unbeaten run in the league. The visitors also has a 3-point lead against the second placed MK Dons. Wigan has the best attacking side in the league netting 73 goals in total and are first in line to gain a Championship promotion.
Wigan continued their winning streak with a 3-1 success over Lincoln City previously. They have been doing very well in recent weeks and the team has picked up 4 wins in the last 5 matches to put themselves in a strong position for winning the title.
On the other side, The Brewers reside at the 17th position on the table with 48 points. Of the 41 matches played, they won 13 games while drawing on 9 and losing 19 other occasions. The hosts are slipping ever closer to the relegation zone with only 10 points separating them from the bottom four.
Burton Albion were able to prevent a string of defeats but they could only get a goalless draw at home against Plymouth during the weekend. From their perspective, they have reached a point where they require just one victory to realistically secure their status in League One for another 12 months.
Coming into this one, Burton Albion have not registered a win against Wigan in their previous 6 league matches. They are also on a 3-game winless and goal-less run and have won just one of their last 9 games in the league.
Meanwhile, Wigan Athletic are on an 8-game unbeaten run in the league and winning 6 times in that period.
Knowing that, Wigan remain the most prolific side in the division and should come out on top on Monday.
