Bury vs Wigan Athletic Preview
Bury have had a nightmare of a season and look doomed to be playing League Two football next season. The club are rooted to the bottom of League One at the moment and are showing no signs of getting themselves out of trouble. They go into the game with Wigan Athletic as massive underdogs too.
We expect to see a similar starting 11 to Bury’s match last week against MK Dons, simply because there aren’t too many options. This would mean a front two of Miller and Hanson, with Bunn providing an extra bit of attacking threat.
Wigan Athletic are looking for an instant return to the Championship, after they were relegated last season. The Latics are currently 3rd in League One, and have their eye on one of the two automatic promotion places. They are good enough, it’s just a case of putting a great run of form together to catch Blackburn or Shrewsbury.
There will be a couple of players missing for Wigan on Saturday. Shaun MacDonald and Jordan Flores are both missing through injury. A similar lineup to the FA Cup defeat against Southampton could be on the cards, with striker Will Grigg hoping to get the goals needed to win the game.

Bury vs Wigan Athletic Prediction
Bury must be losing any hope of surviving in League One this term, and may even be looking ahead to what they need to do to be successful at the level below. Last week saw another defeat, 2-1 away to MK Dons.
There have been some good results this term for Bury, such as the 2-1 win against Gillingham, but they have been few and far between. Wigan on the other hand have been very consistent, picking up plenty of wins in League action.
Paul Cook will have been proud of his Wigan side at the weekend, as they bowed out of the FA Cup at the quarter final stage in a 2-0 defeat to Southampton. The focus now is on earning promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt.
The tip for this game is for Wigan to be successful pretty comfortably, and to continue their hunt for automatic promotion.

The recent meetings between these two sides have been pretty even, with both sides winning 2 of the last 6, with 2 draws. One of these was a 1-1 draw back in 2001, then Wigan spent a lot of the 2000’s in a higher division than Bury.
They also met in the League Cup and the FA Cup in recent years, with Bury winning both times. The meeting in League One earlier this season was a one sided victory for Wigan, after two goals from Nick Powell and one each from Michael Jacobs and Lee Evans.
