🗞️ Team News: Burton Albion
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Burton Albion manager Gary Bowyer to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. Geraldo Bajrami (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out.
ℹ️ Team News: Wigan
Wigan boss Ryan Lowe has not got a full squad to pick from. Luke Chambers (Back injury) and Joe Adams (Cruciate ligament injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
🔮 Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Wigan Athletic will have to play well to find the net against this Burton Albion outfit who we think should score & stay on top.
We therefore see a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 win for Burton Albion at the end of the match.
Expecting it to be tight.
