Wigan to strengthen position in League One table against MK Dons
Wigan Athletic vs Milton Keynes Dons - 19/10/2021
3517
On Tuesday night, Wigan will host Milton Keynes Dons at the DW Stadium, as the Latics look to strengthen their League One promotion chances.
Wigan are currently on a strong run of form in the third tier of English football, as Leam Richardson’s team have won seven of their last eight outings in League One.
The recent good run of form has left the north west outfit in third place in the table, only a point behind league leaders Plymouth Argyle in the table.
Athletic have been prolific in front of goal of late, as they have now scored at least two goals in five of their previous six outings in League One.
At the other end of the pitch, they have also managed clean sheets in three of their previous four league outings.
A surprise 2-1 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday in their last home match ended a five-game unbeaten run on home soil for Wigan in League One.
MK Dons currently occupy the last play-off berth in the third tier, but a win would certainly boost their chances of mounting a realistic promotion challenge this season.
A recent poor run of league form has hindered their hopes of climbing into one of the automatic promotion spots.
In fact, the Dons have now failed to win in three league outings, having suffered two defeats in the process.
One factor that may work against the visitors in the promotion race is that they have played a game more than the likes of Wigan and Sunderland, who have six more points already this season.
MK Dons have been poor on their travels of late in League One, as they have won just once in their previous seven away matches in the league.
Forebet predicts that Wigan will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to enhance their position in the race for automatic promotion back to the Championship.
