Wigan Athletic desperately need points on Saturday, Nov 14 at 4:00 PM in the League 1. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Wigan Athletic come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Barnsley, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Wigan Athletic and Barnsley have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (2W–7D–1W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Wigan Athletic a slight edge, but Barnsley are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
