Wigan have recorded 14 League One wins this season and their last success came away to Shrewsbury on February 17 thanks to Matt Smith’s lone goal in the second-half. On Saturday, the Lactics came from behind to earn a point versus Cheltenham courtesy of Elliot Bonds own goal seven minutes after the break. Shaun Maloney’s side are now winless in their last three home matches. Nevertheless, The Tics have done well in front of their own supporters this term, recording nine wins from 17 games, including a 4-0 victory over Bolton in August’s reverse fixture thanks to braces from Charlie Wyke and Stephen Humphrays.
Bolton, on the other hand, went into the fixture at Bloomfield Road on Saturday aiming to secure three points and climb to the second spot in the table. But Ian Evatt’s men suffered their seventh league-defeat of the season versus Blackpool despite taking the lead through George Thomason’s ninth-minute opener. Nevertheless, the Trotters still have a game in hand over second-placed Derby, and a ninth away win in the league this season will help them to move to second position in the table, and put pressure on leaders Portsmouth, who are seven points away and have played two games more than the Whites.
Wigan Athletic probable starting lineup: Tickle, Hughes, Kerr, Chambers, J. Smith, Adeeko, M. Smith, Pearce, Godo, Aasgard, Magennis
Bolton Wanderers probable starting lineup: Coleman, Jones, Toal, Iredale, Dacres-Cogley, Thomason, Sheehan, Dempsey, Ashworth, Bodvarsson, Collins
