The first time Wigan Athletic and Zulte-Waregem met it ended in a scoreless draw. Wigan currently sit in second place in the group and are looking to stay there with a win over third place Zulte-Waregem.
“We’re the only second-tier team operating in the Europa League and we have a fantastic chance with two games to go to qualify for the knock-out stages, which would be an incredible achievement,” Wigan boss Owen Coyle said, via ESPN FC. “We want to do everything in our power to try and achieve that goal.
“We want to stand toe to toe with some good players and good teams. We’ve done that to this point but we want to take that to the next stage.
“The incentive is there not only for ourselves but also Zulte Waregem, because it could be a Milan, an Ajax, a Napoli – there’s going to be some fantastic teams coming out of the Champions League never mind the quality that’s already in the Europa League.
“For us to be able to reach that 32 would be a great achievement but we’re going to have to go and earn it. This is a very good side, very attack-minded, they’ve got some terrific players.”
