We created a bet builder for Manchester United’s FA Cup match
Manchester United visit Wigan at home, where the visitors should break their bad run.
The first leg of the FA Cup third round concludes on Monday evening in Wigan, where Manchester United will be preparing for their first game of the season, so there is no need to talk about resting, as the visitors have had 9 days to prepare for this 90 minutes. They needed the time, as their Premier League record in December was 2-1-4, and the win against Villa came from 0-2 down, a huge brace. Let’s not mince words, United are in lousy form, but it’s hard to meet an easier rival than Wigan, who are struggling in the third division.
Wigan are 18th in League 1, but have dropped eight points off the home side and are a solid midfield side based on their on-field performances, and are 2013 FA Cup finalists. Wigan’s defending is okay, the problem is the few goals scored, as we are not talking about missing chances, but rather getting into few situations.
Despite United’s poor form, there is a huge gap between the two teams, but the many injuries continue to make things difficult for Ten Hag. It’s hard to imagine the Red Devils not controlling this meeting, and a serious dominance of possession will sooner or later result in goals. We’ve put together a betting book where United win by kicking at least five corners, but won’t see five goals. We’re so confident in the home defence that we don’t expect a huge knockout, but a 1-3 or 0-4 could be on the cards.
