- Team form: Wigan have won two and lost three of their last five.
- Visitors form: Bromley have won zero, drawn one and lost four of their last five.
Latics can make most of home-field advantage
Wigan Athletic come into their clash with Bromley as slight favorites at 1.87 with the visitors 3.69 and the draw 3.5, and that's about right based on both sides' form and the numbers.
- The Latics have two wins and three defeats in their last five overall, but they come into this after consecutive narrow away defeats and will be desperate to put things right back on their home turf.
- The hosts have two wins and three defeats in five at home in League One 2026-2027, averaging 0.80 goals per game for and conceding 1.60.
- Bromley, meanwhile, are in the midst of a rough patch having won zero, drawn one and lost four in their last five and, although they've won one, drawn one and lost three in five away from home in the 2026/2027 campaign, they do average 1.20 goals per away game.
Sides’ styles to clash in basement battle
A 24th-placed Wigan Athletic with seven points from 11 games host a 22nd-placed Bromley with nine points in what promises to be a bottom-of-the-table clash on Saturday.
Tactical set-ups
Gary Caldwell has set Wigan up to be a pragmatic, structure-first side that is patient, controlled and low-risk. Scott Hogan has two of Wigan's six goals in their last five, but they will likely rely on a strong central structure to win this one.
Byron Webster has set up Bromley to be direct, high-tempo. Victor Adeboyejo is their sharpest outlet with four goals in League One 2026-2027 and they'll need him on form to win.
Second balls may be key
The contrasting styles of Wigan and Bromley could make for an interesting affair on Saturday with the Latics' compact block looking to contain Bromley's physical, fast-tempo approach while the Ravens will look to make the second balls the Latics give up count.
It is a matchup of two teams in a similar place and there is little to separate them in the betting and the standings, but Wigan, at home, should have the edge.
Wigan to edge a low-scoring game is the pick here, but given the numbers, a home win and under 3.5 goals is all we can get behind at the moment. Bromley are coming off a 4-0 thrashing by Leicester City and were then held 1-1 by Peterborough United last time out, so there's no confidence there.
