Burton – Wigan preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Burton vs Wigan lineups.
Burton
Burton’s recent improvement continued with a solid 0-0 away draw vs Reading. The Brewers defended very well in this match and despite missing their two best defenders they looked solid.
Burton have achieved only one win so far but they are now unbeaten in 3 and with only 2 losses in the last 7 rounds W1 D4.
Burton’s home form remains an area of concern though – (W0 D2 L2).
Captain Brayford and Moon, the two best defenders in the team, remain sidelined. Striker Stockley is also unavailable due to an injury. This sees wingers Helm and Labala used as fluid front line of false nines right now.
Predicted Lineup:
Crocombe (GK), Hamer, Hughes, Sweeney, Seddon, Bennett, Oshilaja, Powell, Caraylo, Helm & Labala
Wigan
Wigan’s struggles continued on Saturday with a painful home loss against Portsmouth. Started the game well and took the lead but things got very wrong quickly after that. Not only conceded two quick goals but star striker Wyke got himself sent off and Wigan were doomed there and then.
Wigan are now on a run of 4 defeats in 5 and this combined with their pre-season points deduction keeps them in the relegation zone.
Wigan’s key striker Charlie Wyke is now set to be absent due to a ban. Without him on the pitch, Wigan tend to struggle for goals.
At least, the health of the squad is good and only defender Kerr is missing the game due to an injury.
Predicted Lineup:
Tickle (GK), Rekik, Hughes, Watts, Sessegnon, Adeeko, Smith, Godo, Aasgaard, Humphreys & Magennis
