Clarets to claim three points
Our first prediction for this match is that Burnley will win. It's easy to look at the form book and sag ‘they've only won one of five' but actually their away from is quite decent; they've won three of their last four on the road across all competitions. Wigan meanwhile have only won one of their last five games both at home and more generally. As such, we think Burnley will edge this game and take the three points.
Going under 2.5 goals
Our next tip for this match is that it will be a low scoring match and go under 2.5 goals. Each of Wigan's last five matches have gone under that threshold with just six goals seen in that period of time. Burnley meanwhile have seen four of their last five matches go south of the 2.5 cut off with a game average of 2.4 goals per match; it's worth remembering the one game that went over 2.5 goals for the Clarets saw six goals, which gives that 2.4 average some added context!

Will Burnley bag a much needed win?
Last year Wigan and Burnley were separated by an entire division with Burnley having suffered relegation from the Premier League and Wigan having won promotion form League One. Based on how both have started the season, you'd have a job to say which side is in receipt of parachute payments as both sit in lower mid table positions. Will there be anything to separate them today?
Wigan have made an okay start to life in the Championship with six points from five games but they'll be aiming to build here after picking up their first win of the campaign last time out. Facing Burnley isn't an easy fixture in which to do that but, equally, it could be a good time to face them.
Wigan Predicted lineup – Jones, Darikwa, Kerr, Whatmough, Friend, Naylor, Power, Lang, McLean, Keane, Magennis
Burnley might sit on the same number of points as Wigan but it's not seen as quite the same positive start due to their ambitions. You don't bring in Vincent Kompany in as manager to sit in a mid table position of the second tier. The season is far from over but the longer the Clarets go without a win, the bigger than gap to the top six will grow.
Burnley Predicted lineup – Muric, Roberts, Harwood-Bellis, Taylor, Egan-Riley, Cork, Brownhill, Cullen, Tella, Vitinho, Rodriguez
