Wigan Athletic Preview – Will the Latics move to the summit?
Wigan Athletic finished down in 20th place last season. However, the Latics have improved tenfold this term, currently sitting in second spot with an impressive 79 points to their name. Overall, Athletic have won 24, drawn seven and lost six of 37.
Wigan head into this one unbeaten in their past five, winning four and drawing one. Leam Richardson’s troops have been tough to beat in recent months, suffering just one league loss since early February.
As we mentioned, with Rotherham not in league action this weekend, Wigan will move to the top of the League One table with a win. They will also still have a game in hand on the Millers. Saturday’s fixture is a huge one for the Wigan faithful.
Bolton Wanderers Preview – Can the Trotters upset the high flyers?
Bolton Wanderers have been one of the form teams of League One in 2022. Since the turn of the year, Ian Evatt’s men have won ten times in the league and have lost only three games since early January.
The play-offs may be a step too far this season, but Bolton could be a team to watch out for in the 2022-23 League One campaign. Evatt’s men have had a decent time in the third tier after securing promotion from EFL League Two last term.
