A true basement battle is in the cards
This fixture of the lowest two in the division with Wigan Athletic in 24th in League One 2026-2027 with seven points from 11 games and Bromley in 22nd with nine, will see a real scrap for survival. This is not the place to go looking for goals, unfortunately, as Wigan have won just two of their five home matches in League One 2026-2027, while Bromley have just one away victory to their name.
Gary Caldwell has Wigan set up in a pragmatic style, a structure-first system where the priority is shape, patience and low-risk control. Their top scorer in the league so far is Scottish midfielder Jensen Weir with two in seven, but with two straight home wins and back-to-back away defeats, the Latics need a boost on Saturday.
Byron Webster has Bromley set up in a direct, high-energy system, but the visitors are much more of a direct, high-tempo side, winning their games through transitions, aerial duels and set-pieces. In Victor Adeboyejo, they have a real weapon up top with four goals in the league this term, but it hasn't been enough as the Ravens are in poor nick.
Latics should edge it, but it won’t be pretty
Bromley's last two results are a perfect illustration of the confidence crisis they are suffering right now with a 4-0 thrashing by Leicester City followed by a 1-1 draw with Peterborough United. They should be able to keep this close, but the Latics should just have the edge.
Scott Hogan has been largely anonymous for Wigan so far this season, but he has scored two of Wigan's six goals in their last five matches. His finishing ability could make the difference in a tight contest as the odds favour Wigan at 87/100.
The draw is a massive 5/2 and Bromley are 269/100 underdogs, so the form and the odds all suggest that this will be a cagey scrap and not a shootout. A Wigan win and under 3.5 goals is the call here, but this is still likely to be a tight affair at The Brick Community Stadium in England.
