There's Tuesday night action in League One this week as Wigan Athletic host Reading in a key match for both teams. The Latics have struggled for form of late and Ryan Lowe has seen his side tumble towards the drop zone as a result. In contrast, The Royals' form has been improving with Leam Richardson's team sitting comfortably in mid-table. Check out our prediction for the game below.
The current League One table makes worrying reading for 'Tics fans. Wigan now sit 22nd in the table,with 31 points from 29 games, in the relegation spots and two points adrift of safety. In contrast, Reading have recovered after a slow start to the season to sit in eleventh place in the table with 40 points from their 29 matches played.
Wigan have not won any of their last seven games. That run includes a 3-3 draw away at Doncaster which has been followed by three defeats. A 2-0 loss away to Wycombe Wanderers and then a 1-0 home defeat to Lincoln City and at the weekend a damaging 6-1 thrashing away to improving Peterborough United.
Reading come into this game with just one loss in their last four. That run began with two 2-2 home draws, the first against Barnsley and the second against Exeter City. The Royals then travelled to Northampton Town, winning 2-0 and then they came back down to Earth with a 3-2 defeat away to MK Dons this past weekend.

Our Wigan vs Reading Prediction
Our prediction for the Wigan Athletic vs. Reading League One match is: Reading wins.
Wigan are in freefall at the moment and manager Ryan Lowe is struggling to stop the rot, as evidenced by their 6-1 thrashing away to Peterborough at the weekend. Reading's recent form has been much better than their early season form and despite a narrow loss at the weekend, they should have more than enough quality to earn the three points from this trip to the north west.
