History of the Watford v Wigan Athletic fixture

Wigan Ath. pack their bags to visit Watford at Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. 60.00% of the past meetings have resulted in a defeat for Latics.

The previous match played between the two at Vicarage Road Stadium was within the last three years, in September 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
