Wigan Athletic, Recent FormWigan Athletic will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their away outing against Portsmouth.
When it comes to attacking power Shaun Maloney will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
There will be mixed feelings from The Latics, although undefeated in their last 6 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Bristol Rovers, Recent FormThe Bristol Rovers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Peterborough United recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 37 of their 45 games played.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
Chris Martin will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Wigan Athletic in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Bristol Rovers.
After a good 4-1 win for Bristol Rovers in this pair's last league encounter, Wigan Athletic will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at The DW Stadium, The Pirates have been unable to break through the Wigan defence and find the back of the net.
In the league, Wigan has had a good run at home against Bristol, being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings at The DW Stadium.
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.
Bristol manager Matt Taylor has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
