Wigan Athletic, Recent FormWigan Athletic will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Queens Park Rangers.

It seems pretty certain that Shaun Maloney will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
