Two clubs chasing promotion to the Barclay's Premier League will do battle today in a playoff match between Wigan Athletic and Queens Park Rangers. The second-division clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at DW Stadium in Wigan and can be live streamed here free.
Both clubs enter today's playoff match in search of promotion after being relegated in 2013. Successful seasons in the Championship have put both WIgan Athletic and QPR just three victories from doing so. This, however, is a position QPR manager Harry Redknapp, however, didn't expect early in the season (h/t to the Daily Mail). "It was a concern [being relegated]," Redknapp said.
"At Peterborough, when I drove down after the game, I thought we're going to have a difficult season," he added.
"I didn't like the look of us. So, when we started well in the league, it gave everyone a lift."
Now, QPR will look to get that one final lift back into the Barclay's Premier League. Will they be able to do so with a victory over Wigan Athletic this afternoon? Tell us @SportsWN
