Wigan will welcome Birmingham to the DW Stadium on Saturday for League One action. Before we make our prediction on the match, it is worth checking the league table to find the Latics in 16th and the Blues in 2nd.
The home team are frustrating, struggling with consistency since a run of six without defeat in the second half of September into early October. They will arrive the fresher of the two teams with their New Year's Day contest being postponed.
They drew 2-2 with relegation-threatened Shrewsbury in their most recent home game, losing 0-2 to Leyton Orient before that. Away from home, they were only beaten in injury time at Wrexham in their last League One outing.
Birmingham has lost just once in their last 18 games in all competitions. They have drawn their last two, at home to Blackpool and away at Stockport after eight straight wins, including six in the league.
They won the reverse fixture back in August courtesy of an injury-time winner to see off Wigan 2-1. Away from home, they have won seven out of 11 games, losing just two which has seen them keep their title hopes high.

Our Wigan vs Birmingham Prediction
Wigan's lack of any consistency makes them a hard team to predict. They have shown that they are capable of mixing it with the top clubs in the division, including a late loss at Wrexham but at the same time, they have coughed up points at home to clubs in the relegation zone like Shrewsbury.
Games at the DW Stadium are generally tight affairs and this looks like another. There were three goals when these teams met earlier in the season but one of them was in injury time. Our Wigan vs Birmingham prediction is for under 2.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
