Wigan vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Kennedy Kechula in FA Cup Predictions
Wigan Athletic will be at home to welcome Manchester United for round three of the 2023/24 FA Cup. This is the second consecutive meeting between these two in the FA Cup and comes seven years after the first one. Wigan began their Cup campaign in the first round and have played their first two matches away from home, winning both without conceding. They defeated York City to advance to this round for the third season in a row. The 2013 FA Cup champions will hope to keep this momentum going as they play their toughest game yet. Shaun Maloney’s men have struggled in recent outings and have managed just one win in their last six games. They drew 1-1 with Barnsley last time out to put more distance between them and the relegation zone in League One.
Manchester United were losing finalists in last season’s FA Cup. They were returning to the final after a five-year hiatus and lost to cross-town rivals Manchester City. After a disappointing season so far, this is United’s realistic chance at a title this season and they will be keen to make it happen. The Red Devils thumped Wigan 4-0 the last time they met which was in the fourth round of the Cup in 2017. Erik ten Hag’s men have found it hard to win matches and at present have just one win in six outings. They have lost four times with the most recent defeat coming last time out as they fell 2-1 to Nottingham in the League. United haven’t lost a third-round FA Cup tie in nine seasons.
