Team Reviews
Wigan Athletic are entering this League One Matchday 13 clash at DW Stadium on October 18, 2025, in a transitional phase, sitting 15th with 16 points from 12 matches (4 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses). Their recent form shows one win and three losses in the last five league games, including a 1-0 loss to Bristol Rovers and a 2-1 EFL Trophy win over Tranmere Rovers. They've scored 14 goals and conceded 17, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game. At home, Wigan are inconsistent, with 2 wins in 6 league games, keeping 1 clean sheet. Coach's 4-2-3-1 relies on Charlie Wyke's finishing (3 goals) and James Carragher's creativity (2 assists). No major injuries are reported, but the team's defensive lapses are a concern. Wigan will aim to leverage their home crowd to end a three-game winless run against Burton.
Burton Albion are in a dip, sitting 20th with 11 points from 13 matches (3 wins, 2 draws, 8 losses). Their recent form includes one win and three losses in the last five league games, with a 1-0 win over Lincoln City but a 2-0 loss to Northampton Town. They've scored 12 goals and conceded 22, averaging 0.9 goals scored and 1.7 conceded per game. Away form is dismal, with 1 win in 7 road games (3 draws, 3 losses). Coach's 4-3-3 depends on Ryan Bowman's finishing (3 goals) and Adama Traoré's versatility. No major injuries are noted, but Burton's poor away record (1.7 conceded per game) is a weakness. They'll focus on defensive organization and counters, hoping to secure a point.
Head to Head
Wigan Athletic and Burton Albion have met 10 times in League One since 2014, with Wigan winning 5, Burton 3, and 2 draws, averaging 2.1 goals per game. Wigan won the last two encounters, including a 2-0 home victory in March 2025. At DW Stadium, Wigan have won 3 of the last 5, with 1 draw. Both teams scored in 40% of the last 8 meetings. Wigan's 1-0 Bristol Rovers loss and Burton's 1-0 Lincoln win suggest a tight, low-scoring affair.
Prediction
Wigan's home inconsistency (2 wins in 6) gives Burton a chance, but Burton's dismal away form (1 win in 7) and defensive struggles (1.7 conceded per game) favor the hosts. Wigan's attack (1.2 goals per game) should test Burton's backline. I predict a 1-0 Wigan win, with Wyke scoring, and Burton failing to break through. Wigan's win probability is around 50%, reflecting their 2-1 Tranmere win and Burton's 2-0 Northampton loss. Expect Wigan to edge possession (around 51%) and corners (5-7), with Burton relying on counters. The game will be cautious, with Wigan securing three points to push for playoffs.
