Wigan Team News:

Lee Evans
Kal Naismith
Thelo Aasgaard
Gavin Massey
Viv Solomon-Otabor

🤨
Dan Gardner
Adam Long

Wigan do have a lengthy injury list and have to rely on a lot of their young players.

I predict they are going to play the same team as they did vs Accrington

Rochdale Team News:

❌Out
Bazunu
Rathbone

🤨Doubt
Beesley
McLaughlin

Hopefully Beesley is ok to start as I feel we play better when he is in the team.

If Ollie is out, I would play Baah instead of Dooley. Also if Beesley can’t play I would like us to play Tavares up front

Conclusion:

This game is massive for both teams. The pressure it a little bit off for Wigan as they have won 2 games in a row.

I feel if Dale attack Wigan like we did at Plymouth , we will have too much for them to handle.

I feeling a big win for Dale - 3️⃣-1️⃣
