Wigan vs Bristol Rovers Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Wigan were up against Bristol Rovers in the League One of England on January 25. At full-time, Wigan sealed a 2-0 victory over Bristol Rovers.

James Carragher scored the first goal of the game on the 6th minute of the match, giving Wigan the lead. This was followed by a goal from Jonny Smith, setting the final scoreline at 2-0.

4 months after their last match in League One, a sense of anticipation builds as Wigan and Bristol Rovers meet again. In their last meeting, Wigan secured a 0-4 win. Their last outing ended in a loss to Burton Albion on January 21, so Wigan approach this game determined to rebound.
