Wigan Athletic and Swansea City square off at the DW Stadium in round 41 of the EFL Championship on Monday.
The Swans are currently on a nine-game unbeaten run against the home side and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Wigan Athletic were sent crashing back to earth in their battle to beat the drop as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Sheffield United on Friday.
This followed an impressive 1-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers on April 1 which saw their eight-game winless run come to an end.
With 34 points from 40 games, Wigan are currently rooted to the bottom of the EFL Championship table, eight points away from safety.
Meanwhile, Swansea City suffered a slight setback in their quest for a top-half finish as they were held to a goalless draw by Coventry City last time out.
Prior to that, Russell Martin’s side edged out Bristol City 2-0 on March 19 to end their six-game winless run, two weeks before claiming a pulsating 3-2 win over Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Swansea City are currently 15th in the EFL Championship standings, having picked up 50 points from their 40 games so far.
Wigan Athletic vs Swansea City Head-To-Head and Betting Tips

Wigan Athletic vs Swansea City Prediction
While victory here would be a huge boost for Wigan in their race against the drop, they must see off the threat of a rejuvenated Swansea side who have hit their strides in recent weeks.
However, they have been solid at home and we are backing them to edge out the Swans, who are winless in five of their last six away games.
