| This week FootyMad's match preview focuses on the game between Wigan Athletic and Liverpool at 20:00 on Monday, 8th March 2010 in the Premier League. |
History of the Wigan Athletic v Liverpool fixture
Wigan Ath. prepare to entertain Liverpool at JJB Stadium on Monday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. There have only been 1 against the opposition from the 5 matches played by the Latics.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at JJB Stadium was just last season, in January 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premier League match.

Recent respective form guides
Wigan Athletic's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Latics have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Liverpool's away form is none too clever either, losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. The Reds's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 5 goals for and 4 against.
Wigan Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 25 points from 27 matches. Liverpool's total of 48 points from their 28 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Barclays Premier League.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Latics at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Reds come away with an easy victory. Away win
