Footymad preview History of the Millwall v Wigan Athletic fixture

Wigan Athletic travel to take on Millwall at The Den on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Latics will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 6 and win only 1 of the 10 games.

The last time the two teams met at Millwall was back in August 2004, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Championship match.
