Burton Albion come to the DW Stadium to play Wigan Athletic on Friday in terrible form, having collected just one point from their last six games.

On average, the Latics scored 1.2 goals and the Brewers 1.0 in those matches.

Their last meeting was on October 3, when Burton won 2-1 at home.

With 31 goals in 39 games so far this season, Burton are the league’s third-lowest scorers with 0.8 goals per game. And they are conceding at an average rate, letting in 51 goals at a rate of 1.3 per game.

Wigan, meanwhile, are above average scorers, with 1.4 goals per game, compared to a league average of 1.3. They have conceded 1.2 goals per game.

Albion are 19th in the table after 39 games, of which they have won 10 and drawn nine, earning 39 points.

Athletic are nine places ahead of the Brewers in 10th, with 17 wins and seven draws putting them on 58 points.
