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 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Reading's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Royals, and 5 goals against.
Wigan Ath. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premiership with a return of just 0 points from their 1 games thus far. Reading's 3 points from 2 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

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 Royals come away with an easy victory. Away win
