It's fair to say Wigan Athletic will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Reading, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Reading, who had 21 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

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 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.

Confidence will be high amongst the Rotherham United players after their welcome 1-0 home win last time out against Middlesbrough.  They achieved 23% possession in that match and had 4 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Middlesbrough's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have failed to score in 12 of their 22 away games.  

An away win for Rotherham United is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 12 games.  

Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Rotherham United, Hakeem Odoffin will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
