Wigan’s promotion back to the Championship was inevitably confirmed the last time out after they brushed aside Fleetwood Town 4-0. The Latics looked certain to return to England’s second tier from their start of the season and they would now look to end the season on a high note starting with another win at struggling Bristol Rovers.
Bristol Rovers have had a tough end to the season. They lost their last league game 2-0 at Rotherham and that means they have now failed to win any of their last four games. They have an enviable record at home though, but they would find it hard to shut out a Wigan side that is gunning for the title.
Wigan were beaten 2-1 at Portsmouth three weeks ago, that could have seen any team surrender their title challenge and hit rock bottom, but Paul Cook’s men have shown their class by moving on well from that loss to win 4 of their last five league games and put themselves firmly in the running for the league title, also netting an impressive 14 goals in those matches.
Bristol have continued to struggle in defence and they have kept just two clean sheets at home in the whole of this season and their inability to keep things tight at the back might be their biggest undoing here again.
