We said: Wigan Athletic 1-1 Bristol City

Both sides will likely identify Saturday's contest as a good opportunity to pick up an important three-point haul, but we cannot quite split them and see a share of the spoils as the most likely outcome. The Robins will be desperate to put their two defeats behind them and post an away win, but Richardson's side should be well drilled, particularly on home turf, so we opt for a low-scoring draw.
