Footymad preview History of the Wigan Athletic v Swansea City fixture

Swansea City face a trip to Wigan Athletic at Robin Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Swans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Robin Park was just last season, in March 2012, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Premier League match.
