Wigan Ath. prepare to entertain Millwall at JJB Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 9 previous games, with the Latics winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at JJB Stadium was just last season, in January 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that Latics's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Millwall. Home Win

| Wigan Ath. | 4 games since last home draw. Not drawn a match in their last 6 . |
| Millwall | No win in the 2 most recent games. |
Meanwhile, Liam Fowler has contacted wiganer.net asking everyone who wants to make some noise at the JJB on Saturday to go to the back of the North Stand.
He is unhappy that he and his mates get stick for trying to get some chanting going during homes games.
