League One action continues this week and will see a top-of-the-table clash between Rotherham United and Wigan Athletic at the New York Stadium on Friday.
Rotherham United are going full steam ahead in their race for promotion. They picked up a clinical 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in their last game via second-half goals from Freddie Ladapo and Michael Smith.
The Millers sit at the top of the League One table with 68 points from 31 games. They will look to continue their strong run on Friday as they seek an immediate return to the EFL Championship.
Wigan Athletic have bounced back from the poor results they have had in recent weeks. They beat Crewe Alexandra 2-0 in their last game, marking back-to-back wins after a four-game winless run across all competitions.
Wigan Athletic sit second in the league table, six points behind Friday's hosts with two games in hand. They will be looking to maximize their outstanding games as they look to battle the Millers for top spot.
