Wigan - Reading

Wigan Athletic look to regain their footing on matchday 11 of League One as they host Reading at The Brick Community Stadium on 17 October 2026. The home side enters this contest following a difficult run, most recently falling to a 1-0 defeat against Stevenage. Their search for consistency has been hampered by a lack of goals in recent league outings, and they will need to rediscover the attacking spark that saw them overcome Milton Keynes Dons earlier in the campaign if they are to challenge a visiting side currently finding their rhythm.

Reading arrive with confidence after a dominant 5-1 victory over Milton Keynes Dons in their last league fixture. While they suffered a setback in the EFL Trophy against Chelsea Academy, their recent League One form remains strong, highlighted by a convincing 5-0 win over Mansfield Town. Having enjoyed success in their previous meetings with Wigan, Reading will aim to exploit their hosts' recent struggles to climb further up the table.
