Walter Zenga predicts "difficult" Wigan Athletic test

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Walter Zenga warns his team not to underestimate bottom-of-the-table Wigan Athletic.

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Walter Zenga has warned his players not to underestimate Wigan Athletic when they travel to the DW Stadium on Tuesday night.

The Latics are currently rock bottom of the Championship after winning just one of their nine games so far this season.

By contrast, Zenga's Wolves sit in eighth and will hope to build on back-to-back league victories over Newcastle United and Brentford.

"First of all I think [Wigan] are not in the right position that they deserve to be, because it's a good team," Zenga told the Express & Star. "I saw them play in their last two or three games with a good intensity, they lost the game on the limit.

"They stay all the time in the game. They have two or three very interesting players – [Will] Grigg, Jordi Gomez is a very nice player and [Shaun] MacDonald gives balance to the team. They have some things that are very important.

"We must start the game in the right way, with the right mentality and we will find this game very difficult."

The two sides last met in the Championship in April 2015, with Wolves leaving the North-West with maximum points courtesy of Benik Afobe's first-half strike.
