York City vs Wigan Athletic Prediction 01.12.2023

• Competition: England FA Cup
• Date: 01.12.2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: LNER Community Stadium (York)

York managed to reach the 2nd round of the FA Cup by beating Chester in a replay 2-1. These two teams from the National League played 0-0 in the first match. York is one of the teams from the lower part of the 5th table in terms of the strength of the competition rank in the FA. By all accounts, they are fighting for survival, but lately they are showing somewhat better form. The match against Wigan in the cup will be a good chance for them to see where they currently stand.

Wigan was a participant of the Premier League not so long ago. Now this is a club that competes in League One, the 3rd tier of English football. The 8 points deducted by the football association due to financial problems had too much influence on the ranking, so Wigan is currently in the middle of the table. There is little chance that they can interfere in the fight for the top, but they can also be calm in terms of survival.

York City vs Wigan Athletic prediction: UNDER 3.5 GOALS

York have lost just once in their previous 7 matches but this should be the toughest of all those matches. Wigan have been defeated only once in the previous 11 matches and only once have they conceded more than 1 goal in the only defeat against Charlton.

For Wigan, the FA Cup is the only chance to reach an attractive rival and match this season, and that will definitely be a great motivation for this team, which is unlucky this season, both in terms of individual results and the penalties they have received. We expect the visiting team to win, but a very good betting option is under 3.5 goals total.
