Burton Albion vs Wigan Athletic prediction, preview, team news and more | League One 2021-22

League One continues this weekend and will extend into a new week featuring Burton Albion hosting Wigan Athletic at the Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday night.

Burton Albion are struggling for form at the moment. They played out a goalless draw against high-flying Plymouth Argyle last time out and were rather passive offensively, marking their third straight goalless outing.

The home side sit 17th in the league table with 48 points from 41 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend as they target a strong finish to the league season.

Wigan Athletic are in pole position to secure promotion to the Championship. They picked up a well-deserved 3-1 win over Lincoln City last time out via a goal from top scorer Will Keane and a brace from Max Power.

The Latics sit at the top of the league table with 86 points from 40 games. They will be looking to extend their strong run this weekend as they continue their Championship charge.

Burton Albion vs Wigan Athletic Prediction

Burton Albion are on a three-game winless and goalless run and have won just one of their last nine games in the league. They have, however, avoided defeat in back-to-back home games and will be looking to maximize their home advantage next week.

Wigan Athletic are on an eight-game unbeaten run in the league, winning six times in that period. They are the most prolific side in the division and should come out on top on Monday.

Prediction: Burton Albion 0-2 Wigan Athletic
