Wigan vs Burton prediction 02.12.2025 | League One

Wigan come into this game with modest momentum. Last weekend, they secured an away win at AFC Wimbledon, earning their first road victory of the 2025/26 League One campaign. On Saturday, the Latics extended their unbeaten league run to five matches after playing out a goalless draw with Stevenage. Although Wigan have put together solid spells where they avoided defeat for several weeks, this consistency has not yet translated into enough points to significantly climb the League One table. Still, they have lost only twice in their first eight home fixtures this season - those defeats coming against Cardiff and Wycombe - which should be encouraging ahead of Tuesday’s encounter as they strive to extend their unbeaten run to six matches home and away.

Burton’s 2025/26 campaign has delivered mixed - but occasionally promising - performances. Their recent record shows more wins and draws than defeats, particularly away from home where their form has been noticeably stronger. After a dreadful start to the season, in which they failed to win seven of their first eight matches, Gary Bowyer’s side have produced a far better spell, losing only twice in their last nine League One outings (W5, D2, L2). Unfortunately, their four-game unbeaten run came to an abrupt end this weekend as they were thumped 4-0 by Leyton Orient. However, their away record remains impressive: six matches without defeat, and they will be hopeful of extending that run to seven on Tuesday.
