Where to watch Wigan vs Manchester United?

Will Monday’s FA Cup third round tie bring a huge surprise? Wigan’s home environment could help. The players will have a huge motivation to show their strengths and surprise the huge favourite. The match will kick off on Monday 8 January at 21:15.

Match of the season for Wigan

League One has already tipped into its second half. Wigan are up to eighteenth position with 27 points. If they do not improve their results rapidly, they will face rescue duties. However, we must mention that Wigan have been deducted eight points due to financial problems. Otherwise it would be in the top half of the table.

On Monday, Scottish coach Shaun Maloney’s side face the game of the season. A draw and forcing a rematch at Old Trafford would certainly be a great achievement.

Duty for Manchester United

Manchester United are not having an entirely optimal season. It would therefore need to succeed at least in the FA Cup, which it has won twelve times in its long history. Although some changes in the starting line-up are expected, the opponent certainly cannot be underestimated.

Betting tip – Wigan will not lose by 3 or more goals

Given the huge motivation of the home team, I expect Wigan not to lose by more than two goals. It will be very important not to score a very quick opening goal. It is also a definite tip that Wigan will be able to overcome the opponent’s defence at least once.
