Wigan Athletic vs Rotherham United prediction

A hard-fought 2-1 win over Mansfield Town at the weekend keeps Wigan Athletic firmly above the bottom four despite results largely not going their way in regards to relegation rivals. Rotherham United meanwhile, were beaten comprehensively by Barnsley to leave them 13 points adrift and all but gone.

Matches involving Latics under Gary Caldwell have been low-scoring encounters with little in the way of action. But one player who has always stood out in striker Joe Taylor. On the scoresheet from the penalty spot vs Mansfield, Taylor has now racked up ten goals since joining on loan from Huddersfield in January. A striker of his quality could prove the difference in a game like this, so back Taylor to increase his tally against the Millers.
