It is a relegation battle weekend in League One as 21st placed Wigan Athletic play host Barnsley, who are two places further down. The two sides are separated by two points, Wigan on 11 and Barnsley nine. Wigan have been doing well lately, and in this prediction we are backing them to win.
Across the last 10 meetings, this fixture has produced more draws than wins, with each team winning once and eight games ending in draws. Wigan will be confident coming here off a four-game unbeaten run.
In their last outing, the Latics saw off Crewe 2-1 in the EFL Trophy, right after beating Boreham Wood 3-0 in the FA Cup. In their last two league matches, Wigan picked up four points and are now one point below safety.
Barnsley have two games in hand against Wigan and will hope to leap above their hosts with a win. Before this encounter they warmed up with a massive victory in the FA Cup, beating Aldershot 7-2.
That ended a run of 11 winless outings, and Barnsley will be looking to build on it. In league action, they are winless in eight straight league matches, six being defeats. Away from home, the Tykes are winless in five outings, losing each of the last four.
