Recent respective form guides
Wigan Athletic's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Latics have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.
Man. City's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. While the Sky Blues have hit 6 goals, 11 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 8 points from their 14 games thus far. Man. City sit in a healthy 3rd in the league, and have picked up 29 points from their 14 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Latics at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Sky Blues come away with an easy victory. Away win
