Wigan pack their bags to visit Millwall at The New Den on Saturday evening, looking to break their duck against the hosts. Most of the previous meetings have ended up in defeat for the Latics.
The previous match played between the two at The New Den was within the last three years, in January 2001, with Millwall running out comfortable 3 - 1 winners in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Millwall have lost just once in their last six home games, winning four and drawing the other one. A total of 12 goals have been scored by the Lions in those games, with 6 conceded.
The Latics have had a decent run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in the last six, but with four of them resulting in draws. Just 5 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 2 have been let in at the wrong end.

FootyMad's prediction ...
This promises to be an excellent test for the in-form Latics, but one which I believe will end in stalemate. No-score draw
