📏 Form Guide

Bristol Rovers
Bristol Rovers
WLLDWW

Bristol Rovers will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 1-3 EFL Trophy defeat last time out to West Ham United U23s.

The only player to score from Bristol Rovers was Sam Finley (24'). Callum Marshall (70', 93') scored for West Ham United U23s.

It has been seldom in recent times that Bristol Rovers have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Bristol Rovers have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 7 goals in the process.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Bristol Rovers:

  • haven't won against Wigan Athletic in their previous 9 matches in the league.
  • have not won at home in their last 6 matches in the league. That's never good.

Wigan will go into the clash following a 7-1 EFL Trophy win against Leicester City U23s in their most recent outing.

For Wigan Athletic, the goals were scored by Josh Magennis (34', 46'), Callum Lang (57'), Harry McHugh (72'), Chris Sze (85') and Josh Stones (95'). Arjan Raikhy (30') and Brad Young (60' Own goal) scored for Leicester City U23s.

Looking at their form, and Wigan have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 7 goals in all. At the back, Wigan Athletic just haven’t been too solid at all. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though.

Coming into this contest, Wigan Athletic remain undefeated by Bristol Rovers when having played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. An impressive run.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking over their past head to head meetings stretching back to 16/09/2000 tells us that Bristol Rovers have won 0 of these and Wigan 2, with the number of draws being 4.

An aggregate of 8 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 2 from The Pirates and 6 netted by The Latics. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 1.33.

The previous league contest between the two was League One match day 31 on 23/02/2021 and the score finished Bristol Rovers 1-2 Wigan Athletic.

The match was refereed by Carl Brook.

ℹ️ Team News: Bristol Rovers

The Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton will be thankful to have no fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this game with a fully injury-free group to choose from.

It’s our opinion that The Pirates should use the 4-3-3 formation for this game and select Matthew Cox, Jack Hunt, Connor Taylor, Joshua Grant, Harvey Vale, Lamare Bogarde, Sam Finley, Antony Evans, Luke Thomas, John Marquis and Aaron Collins.

📰 Team News: Wigan

Thanks to a largely available squad, there is only the lone fitness worry for the Wigan manager Shaun Maloney to be concerned about. Jason Kerr (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t be in action.

We’re of the thinking that The Latics seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Sam Tickle, Sean Clare, Charlie Hughes, Liam Morrison, Omar Rekik, Babajide Adeeko, Matthew Smith, Martial Godo, Callum Lang, Thelo Aasgaard and Charlie Wyke.

✨ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Wigan Athletic will have to perform well to be putting a goal past this Bristol Rovers outfit who we think might well end up scoring and staying ahead.

We’re therefore expecting a very even match with a 1-0 victory for Bristol Rovers at full-time.

Should be a close one.
