Wigan Athletic
DWLDWL ⚖
Wigan will be looking for an improved result here following the 2-1 League One defeat last time out to Charlton Athletic.
The only name on the scoresheet from Wigan Athletic was Chris Sze (84'). Matt Godden (11', 38') scored for Charlton Athletic.

Barnsley
WWLLLD
In the game prior to this, Barnsley drew 1-1 in the League One match with Cambridge United.
The only player to score from Barnsley was Jonathan Lewis (92'). James Brophy (9') was the scorer for Cambridge United.
The stats don’t lie, and Barnsley have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 11 goals in total. At the back, Barnsley just haven’t been too solid at all.
Looking at their past form shows that Barnsley:
- are undefeated by Wigan Athletic when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
- are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.
👥 Head to head
Looking at the statistics for their head to head meetings stretching back to 31/08/2019, there has been little to separate the clubs with Wigan winning 1 of those games, Barnsley 1 and 4 being draws after 90 minutes of play.
A combined total of 7 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 3 of them from The Latics and 4 belonging to The Tykes. That’s an average goals per game figure of 1.17.
The previous league game between these sides was League One match day 17 on 23/11/2024 and the score finished Barnsley 0-1 Wigan Athletic.
The referee was Tom Reeves.
ℹ️ Team News: Wigan
Luke Chambers (Back injury), Tyrese Francois (Ankle ligament tear), Matt Smith (Hamstring injury), Dion Rankine (Hamstring injury) and Joe Adams (Cruciate ligament injury) are unavailable for Wigan boss Ryan Lowe.
📰 Team News: Barnsley
Barnsley manager Conor Hourihane has some current player fitness concerns. Marc Roberts (unknown injury), Dexter Lembikisa (unknown injury) and Josh Earl (unknown injury) are not able to play.
💡 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Barnsley will need to apply a lot of pressure to put one past this Wigan Athletic side who will likely be able to grind out a win.
We’re going for a hard-fought 1-0 winning margin for Wigan Athletic at the end of the 90 minutes.
Let’s see how it plays out.
