Burton Albion
- Burton Albion have drawn their last two games, but their home form is still a concern going into Monday’s League One clash against a Wigan Athletic side that has just slightly more form and momentum.
- The Brewers are 19th in the table on 24 points from 20 games.
- The Brewers have won three, drawn two and lost five of their ten home games this season, conceding 14 times.
Wigan Athletic
- Wigan have an away record (W1, D6, L3), but they too have struggled to put away teams on the road.
- The Latics have scored only 11 times in ten League One road games at an average of 1.10 goals per game.
- Ryan Lowe has overseen a change in Wigan’s playing style since he took over in March 2025 and has made them a much more attacking side.
- His 3-5-2 set-up utilises attacking wing-backs that allow the Latics to stretch play and press high up the pitch.
-
Their recent results include:
- a 1-0 home win over Burton from three weeks ago.
- a 1-1 draw at Huddersfield.
- a 2-0 home defeat to Blackpool.
Head-to-Head
- Wigan have two wins, two draws and just one defeat from their last five League One games.
- Wigan have failed to win on their last two visits to Burton Albion (D1, L1).
Betting Insights
- Wigan are slight favorites at 2.34 to win this game, which is surprising given Burton are 3.05 with the bookmakers.
- But we feel Burton can keep it close because their 3-5-2 system is extremely well organised and they will set up to stop Wigan’s wide players getting into the game.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.7 looks very attractive given Wigan average 1.10 goals per away game and Burton's recent low-scoring matches.
Prediction
The Latics have much the better form and are in a slightly higher league position, so we will side with the away side to edge this close game.
