STEVENAGE, England (Interstat) — Stevenage hosts Wigan Athletic on Saturday, May 2, in a League One clash that carries postseason implications for both sides.

The match at the Lamex Stadium pits two clubs trending in opposite directions. Stevenage enters on a five-match unbeaten run in league play, while Wigan has lost three of its past four.

Stevenage (1-1 draw with Doncaster on April 25) has conceded only two goals in its last five outings, posting three clean sheets in that span. The defense, anchored by goalkeeper Taye Ashby-Hammond, held Barnsley 1-0 on April 21 and blanked Bradford City 1-0 on April 11. However, the club was routed 5-1 by Bolton Wanderers on April 14, its only defeat since March 21.

Manager Alex Revell’s side sits midtable but within striking distance of a playoff spot. The team’s resilience at home has been critical, with four wins in its last six home league matches.

Wigan Athletic (0-1 loss to AFC Wimbledon on April 25) is mired in a four-game winless streak, with two draws and two defeats. The Latics have managed just one goal in that stretch (Interstat) — a 2-1 win over Mansfield Town on April 11. Manager Shaun Maloney’s squad has been inconsistent, alternating between clean sheets and defensive lapses.

Wigan’s form on the road has been mixed: three wins, three draws and four losses in away league games this season. The team last won away April 6 at Northampton Town (3-1).

The two sides met most recently Nov. 29, a scoreless draw at Wigan. That result extended Stevenage’s unbeaten run against Wigan to three matches (1-0, 1-1, 0-0). Wigan last beat Stevenage in 2023.

An Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw Saturday. The forecast aligns with a tight contest: both teams average slightly more than one goal per game in league play, and each has struggled to find consistent attacking rhythm.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time.
