Mansfield Town
- Mansfield Town have won three of their five home League One games this season (D1, L1).
- The Stags are currently ninth in the 2025-2026 League One table with 18 points from 12 games, two points and four places better off than Wigan in 13th.
- Mansfield are tight at the back, structured in the midfield and direct in attack, relying on set pieces and crosses to get their forwards into positions to score.
Wigan Athletic
- Wigan Athletic have won none of their six away games in League One this term (D3, L3).
- Wigan Athletic have ended a two-game losing streak after they beat Port Vale 1-0 at home in their previous League One fixture.
- The Latics will try to play in the same way at Field Mill as they do anywhere else, trying to stretch the play with wing-backs, playing vertical, and pressing the ball aggressively.
- This can leave them vulnerable at the back, and is one of the reasons why they have conceded 12 goals in six League One road games.
