Doncaster Rovers
- The Dons enter the fixture in good shape after back-to-back wins, while the Latics have lost their last two and are in freefall.
- 22nd-placed Rovers have 26 points from 25 games, while Wigan are 18th with 30 from the same number of matches played.
- Grant McCann has overseen a clear shift in Doncaster Rovers’ identity since taking charge in May 2023, with his team equally at home in a 4-2-3-1 or when they go with a back three and marauding wing-backs.
- Owen Bailey is their main man up top, netting eight goals in 25 League One appearances, but the team’s real strength has come from their attacking wing play.
Wigan Athletic
- Wigan Athletic have played some excellent soccer in the months since Ryan Lowe took over in March 2025, bringing his attacking philosophy and ushering in a new era for the Latics.
- Fraser Murray is the spearhead with four goals in 24 League One games this season, but Dara Costelloe has been a bright spark recently with two goals in his last five.
- The Latics have struggled away from home and come into this clash with a record of two wins, six draws and five defeats from 13 away games, conceding 19 goals at an average of 1.46 per game.
- The Latics have lost two and won one of their last three away games and will need to dominate the flanks and the transitions, which have been their forte under Lowe.

- The odds of 2.46 are certainly on the low side for Doncaster, with Wigan at 2.92, so we’ll take the BTTS market at 1.77 as both teams have enough of a goal threat to find the net in a high-energy game.
