Wigan Ath. prepare to entertain Blackburn Rovers at JJB Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Each previous meeting has resulted in defeat for the Latics.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at JJB Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Wigan Athletic's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. Latics have conceded a disappointing 8 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.
Blackburn R.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Rovers's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
Wigan Ath. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 9 points from their 16 games thus far. Blackburn R.'s 26 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
