Wigan Athletic Preview – Latics to keep up unbeaten start?
Wigan Athletic are back in the Championship after winning League One last season. Leam Richardson is a popular man at the DW Stadium, and the 42-year-old will be doing everything in his power to keep Athletic up this term.
The Latics have made a solid start, drawing both Championship matches. On the opening weekend of the season, Wigan held Preston North End to a goalless draw. The club from Greater Manchester then drew 1-1 at Norwich City, who are the title favourites. However, they were beaten by League One side Fleetwood Town in the EFL Cup in midweek.
Wigan will be hoping to maintain their unbeaten run in the league with a positive result on home soil on Saturday. The hosts are the slight favourites at 23/20.
Bristol City Preview – Can the Robins get off the mark?
Bristol City have made a poor start to their Championship campaign, taking zero points from two games. They are one of just two teams yet to pick up a single point and are only off the bottom of the table on goal difference.
Bristol City let a lead slip to lose 2-1 at Hull City in game one. They were then on the wrong end of a five-goal thriller against Sunderland last weekend. However, they did thump Coventry City 4-1 at the Pirelli Stadium in the first round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.
