League One continues this weekend and will see Burton Albion host Wigan Athletic at the Pirelli Stadium on Saturday night.
Burton Albion are struggling for form at the moment. After their impressive 3-2 comeback win over Fleetwood Town earlier this month, they were beaten 2-0 by Charlton Athletic as they failed to offer much offensively, managing no shots on target.
The home side now sit 14th in the league table with 47 points from 39 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend as they target a top-half table finish.
Wigan Athletic are steadily approaching a return to the Championship. They picked up a comfortable 4-1 win over relegation-threatened Morecambe in their last game and could even have won by a larger margin.
The Latics sit second in the League One standings with 79 points from 37 games. They are just one point behind Rotherham United in first place and still have two games in hand.

Burton Albion vs Wigan Athletic Prediction
Burton Albion have lost five of their last seven league games, and have conceded 19 goals in that period. Their last two wins have, however, come on home turf and they will now be looking to capitalize on their home advantage this weekend.
Wigan Athletic are unbeaten in their last five league games and have lost just one of their last 10. They are one of the favorites to move up to the Championship and should therefore have more than enough to win on Saturday.
Prediction: Burton Albion 1-3 Wigan Athletic
