Wigan vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
It’s been less than five years since Wigan Athletic sensationally celebrated winning the FA Cup. It was one of the biggest successes of the club, which had to experience one of his bitter moments just a few days after winning the trophy. As a newly crowned FA Cup winner, Wigan lost to Arsenal only three days after the historic Premier League victory and had to embark on a bitter transition to the championship. Currently Wigan even plays only in League One. In the final of the FA Cup Wigan beat no one less than Manchester City.
Wigan :
Wigan Athletic was well on the way to promotion to League One, the third-highest British league, two games ago. Actually, because Wigan lost his last two league games at Southend United (currently thirteenth place) with 1: 3 and last at home against Blackpool (currently seventeenth place) with 0: 2. Above all, the home defeat against relegation-threatened Blackpool was surprising, as it was only the second for Wigan in the sixteenth home game in League One. These two bankruptcies Wigan not only lost first place at Shrewsbury Town, but let the competition also move back strong. Wigan is still in second place, which justifies the direct promotion, but the Latics there are only due to the better goal difference against the now equal points team of Blackburn Rovers.
After Wigan survived the first two rounds in the FA Cup against fourth division side Crawley Town and the AFC Fylde amateurs in the replay, the club then returned to its old cup status in the final two rounds. First, Wigan defeated Premier League club Bournemouth 3-0 in the replay – the first game ended 2-2 – and one round later West Ham United, also from the Premier League, had to believe it the Hammers lost 0: 2. Both times Wigan secured the progress at home.
Manchester City:
From Basel to Wigan, from the Champions League to the FA Cup, from the Swiss Champion to the English third division. This is the journey of Manchester City in the last days. In Basel, the Citizens had no problems and won their first leg in the first knockout round of the Champions League clearly 4-0. Man City is 99.9% in the round of the last eight. It could be the mega-season for the Skyblues anyway, because in the Premier League, the championship is only a matter of time and in the League Cup Manchester City is already in the final. In the FA Cup, however, there are still a few rounds more, but also in this competition Manchester City is considered the favorite to win the trophy.
In the tournament so far, the team of Pep Guardiola held with victories of 4: 1 over league rivals Burnley and 2: 0 at Cardiff City from the Championship harmless and reached the next round without any problems. The win in Basel was the seventh competitive game without defeat – six wins, one draw. In Manchester City’s 41 competitive matches this season, only the 3: 4 defeat in the Premier League at Liverpool and the 1: 2 at Shakhtar Donetsk on the sixth matchday in the group stage of the Champions League insignificant for Man City. Manchester City won 36 of its 41 competitive games this season. Four of the five competitive games Manchester City failed to win were played away.
