 Both sides will be keen to reach the third round of the FA Cup, when Premier League teams enter the competition, so expect a close tie between two of the lowest-scoring sides in League One. However, Wigan enter the game with confidence after recording consecutive league wins, and their superior defensive record may see them win by a small margin. Read more.
