North-west rivals Wigan and Stockport clash in an eagerly-awaited derby after going through very different weeks.
Wigan are in the bottom four in League One but feeling on top of the world after deservedly beating MK Dons 3-1 to get on the board at the fourth time of asking.
Stockport, on the other hand, make the short hop across to the Brick Community Stadium on the back of a dispiriting 2-0 loss at Luton.
Wigan Athletic vs Stockport County Tips Summary
Best Bet - Double Chance/Goals Range - Wigan or Draw/2-6 @ 11/10
Alternative Bet - Sonny Perkins Anytime Scorer @ 21/10
Bet Builder - Either to Score - Sonny Perkins or Kyle Wootton, Wigan Over 4 Corners, Stockport Over 5 Corners @ 13/2
Wigan Athletic vs Stockport County Prediction
Best Bet: Double Chance/Goals Range - Wigan or Draw/2-6 @ 11/10
Wigan are arguably unlucky to be on just three points - only two other sides have fired off more shots than them over the first four games in League One.
They will certainly be buoyant after beating MK Dons 3-1 to get on the board and now sit just a win adrift of Stockport, deflated after a 2-0 loss at Luton.
This could be a tight affair where the draw looks a fair runner. The Draw or Wigan Double Chance appeals at 8/13 but you can improve those odds by combining the Double Chance with a Goals Range - the Draw or Wigan Double Chance and a 2-6 goals range is quoted at 11/10.
Alternative Bet: Sonny Perkins Anytime Scorer @ 21/10
New Wigan recruit Sonny Perkins looks a handful in attack.
The 22-year-old summer purchase from Leyton Orient is getting a run in Gary Caldwell's team and is a threat.
Perkins has one goal to show for his efforts - in the 3-2 loss at Cambridge - but has unloaded 15 shots, a record bettered by only four players in the league.
Take Perkins to grab his second of the campaign in a Wigan team who will look to create chances.
Wigan Athletic vs Stockport County Bet Builder Tip
Either to Score - Sonny Perkins or Kyle Wootton
Wigan Over 4 Corners
Stockport Over 5 Corners
Pays 13/2
The case for Perkins has been made though opposite number Wootton is also a fair option to get on the scoresheet.
Wootton - one of those few players to have had more shots than Perkins - has three goals to his name already.
Take either man to score as the first leg of the Bet Builder.
Wigan have had five or more corners in three of their games to date and can rack up at least five.
Equally, the Hatters had eight at Luton chasing the game on Wednesday and could well win even more.
