Wigan Ath. prepare to entertain Wolverhampton Wanderers at JJB Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the Latics winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at JJB Stadium was just last season, in August 2009, with Wolves inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Latics in a Premier League match.

Recent respective form guides
Wigan Athletic's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Latics have scored 5, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Wolves is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Wolves have hit 4 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Wigan Ath. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 5 points from their 6 games thus far. Wolves are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 6 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Attention punters! I see this as an opportunity for the Latics to get the show back on the road by taking all the three points available. Home Win
