Wigan Athletic vs Rotherham United Prediction: Rotherham have second-worst away record in the league

Wigan Athletic is set to host Rotherham United on Monday at DW Stadium. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes? 

Wigan Athletic form

Wigan Athletic have had a difficult season in the Championship, having been in the relegation zone since November. The team has only managed to win 10 out of their 45 league matches this season and has suffered 21 defeats. In March, the Latics were handed a three-point deduction due to the late payment of player wages.

Despite their struggles, the team has seen some improvement in recent weeks under the management of Shaun Maloney. The team won their last two matches against Stoke City and Millwall, thanks to goals from Will Keane and Thelo Aasgard, which kept their survival hopes mathematically alive.

However, their hopes were dashed in their last match against Reading, where they were held to a 1-1 draw and other results confirmed their relegation to League One.

As they prepare to play their last match of the season, Wigan will aim to end the campaign on a positive note with a home victory on Monday. However, the team is facing controversy over their late payments to players, which has been an ongoing issue.

Wigan Athletic Predicted Lineup

Jones; Hughes, Whatmough, Nyambe; Darikwa, Tiehi, Power, McClean; Lang, Keane, Aasgard

Rotherham United Form

Rotherham United, who recently secured their Championship status for another season, will visit Wigan Athletic on the final day of the campaign. After gaining promotion to the second tier as runners-up to Rotherham, the Latics have struggled, and their relegation was confirmed several weeks ago. Rotherham, on the other hand, ended a five-year cycle of promotions and relegations by surviving in the Championship this season. Despite a slow start under manager Matt Taylor, they managed to collect 35 points from 35 league games. Their 11th league win, against Middlesbrough, ensured their survival, lifted them to 20th place in the table, and gave them 49 points. Taylor's men will aim to finish their impressive season on a high by securing all three points and surpassing the 50-point mark on Monday.

Rotherham United possible lineup

Johansson; Harding, Humphreys, Wood, Bramall; Wiles, Odoffin; Fosu, Rathbone, Hjelde; Hugill
