Wigan Athletic vs Burnley Prediction

The hosts will look to build on their win last weekend. Meanwhile, Burnley will be disappointed after squandering a 3-1 lead against Blackpool to split points. Two late second-half goals doused their hopes of a second win of the season.

Wigan will fancy their chances here, but they will be up against a strong team who are looking to go straight back to the Premier League. Burnley should take this one.

Prediction: Wigan 1-2 Burnley
