DW Stadium welcomes Wigan Athletic and Cheltenham Town this Friday in League One. Wigan are looking to grab a spot in the top half of the table whereas Cheltenham look to put some more space between themselves and the relegation zone.
Wigan currently sit 13th in League One after 33 games. The Latics have 14 wins, six draws and 13 losses, leaving Wigan on 40 points, just three points behind Bristol Rovers in the 12th and the top half of the table.
In their last five games in all competitions, Wigan have two wins and three losses.
A penalty from Josh Magennis in the fifth minute gave Wigan the lead but Jamie Reid equalised for Stevenage just ten minutes later. Thelo Aasgaard regained the lead for Wigan before halftime but goals from Carl Piergiannni and Louis Thompson gave Stevenage the 3 - 2 win. However, next time out Wigan was on the right side of a 3 - 2 scoreline. A brace from Aasgaard and a goal from Magennis gave Wigan the 3 - 0 win going into the last five minutes. Despite the red card to Matt Smith and goals from Josh Knight and Ricky-Jade Jones, Wigan held on for a 3 - 2 win over Peterborough.
Mohamed Eisa and Jack Aitchison both scored to give Exeter the 2 - 0 lead just after the hour mark. Charlie Kelman got Wigan into the game, but Exeter held on for the 2 - 1 win. Jordan Jones opened the scoring for Wigan but Josh Murphy equalised for Oxford United in the added time of the first half. Cameron Brannagan and Ruben Rodrigues put Oxford into the lead but Aasgaard grabbed another goal for Wigan. However, a goal from Tyler Goodrham gave Oxford the 4 - 2 win.
The last time out for Wigan was against Shrewsbury. Smith scored the only goal of the game in the 57th minute to give Wigan the 1 - 0 win.
Cheltenham, on the other hand, sit 21st in League One. In 31 games, The Robins have nine wins, five draws and 17 losses which leaves them on 32 points, just one point above the relegation zone, with one or two games in hand on those below them.
In their last five games in all competitions, Cheltenham have three wins and two losses.
Liam Sercombe opened the scoring for Cheltenham just after halftime but goals from Max Bird and James Collins gave Derby County the 2 - 1 win. Wycombe picked up a 3 - 0 lead at halftime through goals from Jack Grimmer and Garath McCleary as well as an own goal from Curtis Davies. Matt Taylor did score early on in the second half, but Wycombe held on for the 3 - 1 win.
Taylor was on the scoresheet again for Cheltenham with the only goal of the game in the 1 - 0 win over Cambridge United. The visit from Blackpool saw Elliot Bonds grab a brace in the 2 - 0 win for Cheltenham, with Blackpool only managing one shot on target.
The most recent outing for Cheltenham was against Port Vale. Nathan Smith opened the scoring for Port Vale in the 25th minute but Taylor equalised before halftime. An own goal from Davies regained the lead for Port Vale but Jack Shepherd equalised just four minutes later. Will Ferry then grabbed a late goal to give Cheltenham the 3 - 2 win.
Wigan and Cheltenham have met just five times in their histories, with the first meeting coming back in 2002. Wigan have the better record in the fixture with two wins, with Cheltenham never beating Wigan. In fact, the other three games all ended in a draw.
