We said: Wigan Athletic 2-0 Shrewsbury Town

 Wigan's victory over their rivals should see them come into this weekend's clash with renewed confidence, and their defensive resilience should prevent Shrewsbury from finding the back of the net. Additionally, given the Shrews' own poor defensive record, it is difficult to see anything other than a comfortable victory for Latics on Saturday. Read more.
