Bristol Rovers, Recent FormBristol Rovers will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their away outing against Shrewsbury Town.
It's fair to say that manager Joey Barton will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
A home win for Bristol Rovers is just a distant memory, having not won at Memorial Stadium in 6 games.
Wigan Athletic, Recent FormWigan Athletic will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Cambridge United.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
The Wigan Athletic travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Charlie Wyke, who's scored 5 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Wigan Athletic that came out on top with a 1-2 win.
The Pirates have struggled to break down the Wigan defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Playing at home, Bristol have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Wigan.
Bristol will be wondering what they have to do to get all 3 points in this fixure, having failed to win any of their last 9 league meetings with Wigan.
With no real injury worries, Bristol manager Joey Barton will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Wigan manager Shaun Maloney ahead of this clash, with Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Maloney a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
